London - Victoria Park 5k 2019
Sat 6 Jul 2019 - Sat 6 Jul 2019
I'm taking part in Race for Life to mark my 5th year in remission and to celebrate all those still fighting.
In memory of
all those that lost there fight with cancer
I was diagnosed 2014 with breast cancer and although at the time i thought my life was over 5 years later i'm still here kicking cancers butt. I took such a positive approach and never accepted it in my life just a mere mishap that happened to invade my space once it was gone i got on with life. Cancer doesn't have to be scary just know what your dealing with and combat it the best you can but do not give up on life let it be the reason you fight even harder. Unfortunately it has taken many lives loved ones, friends strangers and children but without the correct knowledge and research cancer will continue to be an annoying cell that just won't go away. Race for life for me isn't just about raising money its just to show cancer you will never win in my world and to celebrate with those i love just means the world to me.
