My Story

In the UK, 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. All of us know at least one person who has had, or has been affected by the results of cancer. In February 2006, my mother was diagnosed with type 3 breast cancer. She was lucky enough to have received chemotherapy and radiotherapy within 2 months of being diagnosed with no spreading of the cancer, and luckily is still around today. My mother was fortunate enough to catch the cancer at the early stages, and my family and I are so grateful for the fantastic treatment & support she received in order to beat cancers butt. The list of people who I know to have lost their battle continues throughout relatives and friends: my great uncle Dave with pancreatic cancer, my great-aunt Audrey to lung cancer, my cousin Maeve to skin cancer (Melanoma), the list goes on. However, with over 100 types of cancers known, we are closer than ever to finding a cure to this horrid disease. With your donations, you will help to fund Cancer Research UK into helping those around you, mothers, fathers, cousins, friends of friends in order to find a cure to this. As most of you will know, I am much more comfortable swimming than running so this will be quite a challenge for my food loving self, but I am ready to run for this fantastic charity. I won't just be running for my mum, I'll be running for everyone affected by cancer in helping to find a cure. Together, we will beat cancer sooner.
