Elise's Very 2020 Race for Life

My Story

After a year where vital cancer trials have been delayed, the Race for Life is more important than ever. COVID is not the only thing killing people. Cancer hasn’t taken annual leave! As most of you know, my life changed altogether when I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 33 years old. My babies were 7 and 5 and I faced a very real prospect of leaving them without their mummy. Thankfully I fought back strong enough and threw cancer to the kerb. Sadly, too many people aren’t able to celebrate the same achievement. Cancer is the least discriminating b***ard I know. It doesn’t care how old you are, how kind or generous you are, or whether you’re someone’s mummy, daddy, brother, sister, wife, husband, daughter, son, or friend. Cancer deserves to be put in its place and it’s our job to do that!! 2020 has been a year where we’ve ignored cancer and bought into COVID. That's why I'll be taking part in a Very 2020 Race for Life. Every pound you can donate will go towards Cancer Research UK’s ground-breaking work, so please sponsor me today!
