My Story
As many of you will know I have some very personal links to cancer. I lost my Dad to Lung Cancer in 2014 and since then have worked with Macmillan's Work & Cancer programme to support awareness of cancer in the workplace and with Working With Cancer to support people in work both during and after treatment. Most recently my friend's 6 year old daughter was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour and I see the pain that cancer is causing everyday. She has DIPG which currently has no cure. We have made amazing steps already towards a cure for many cancers, but there is a lot of work still to be done. Previously I have focussed on donating my time, but in March I’m walking 10,000 steps a day throughout the month to help beat cancer sooner. Help me Walk All Over Cancer and fund life-saving research by sponsoring me.
