My Story
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. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me now. On 21st December 2010, my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer. From there, our lives became about surgeries, chemotherapy, growths, tumours, shrinkage, radiotherapy, needles, tablets & PICC lines. A heavy burden for a needlephobe who hated tablets. She rose to every hurdle with courage, strength & oftentimes, comedy. On 21st December 2015, my mym lost her 5 year battle with cancer. She left a devastated family & friendship group. She shone brightly in life & is my guiding light for anything I do. I walk for her. For my Grandad Eric. For my Aunty Elaine. For my Great Aunt Sylvia. For Lil Ern. For all those before them & especially those who are yet to come.
