My Story

On May 24th this year my Mum was diagnosed with cancer. Hearing the Dr say those words “ Im afraid it’s Cancer” is something no-one wants to hear. From that day my families lives changed, every minute now counts so much more to us and we have found a strength each of us didn’t know we had. Mum is fighting this beast with every ounce of strength she has, and in the short time since the diagnosis has had to face many emotions and sets backs, but we’re not going to let it beat us. Taking part in this walk seems such a trivial thing to do but if it highlights the work Cancer Research does then every step will be worth it. Each year Cancer Research UK’s scientists get closer to beating cancer, and they’ve helped double survival rates in the last 40 years. But we can’t stop there. Only with our continued support can they turn this research into breakthroughs that save millions of lives.
