My Story
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. This March I’m walking 10,000 steps a day throughout the month to help beat cancer. Help me Walk All Over Cancer and fund life-saving research by making a donation to my page. My dad was diagnosed in 2010 with Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) which is a cancer that affects the white blood cells. He has Chemotherapy while in hospital and in the October 2011 he had a bone marrow transplant who his youngest brother donated. He was discharged in the November 2011 and was off work for 3 and half years. To this day he is still classed as in remission and has blood tests to look for abnormal cells once a year. I was 10 years old when I found out about my dad had cancer, I didn’t know how to express my feelings towards it, it was such a shock that someone who I looked up too wasn’t going to be around, i just started secondary school and my mum and my brother tried to help keep everything a float, while dad was in hospital it was a struggle to keep financially stable , he was based in Leicester and couldn’t visit due to transport and financial reasons. I got to FaceTime my dads but couldn’t bare seeing him in such a state. However my dad is my hero and he beat cancer! They don’t call him lucky Pierre for nothing. I’m proud to be your daughter ❤️
