My Story
Hi! Thanks for visiting my fundraising page! In November 2018 I will be marrying my partner, Renee Reitsma. Renee is the most precious person in the world to me, and I feel incredibly lucky that she will be spending her life with me. Sadly, our wedding will be missing one very important guest. Renee's mum Cora was diagnosed with lung cancer a few months after we started dating. As Renee and I grew closer to one another, her mother's condition worsened. In August of 2016, Cora passed away. From the first day I met Renee, she told me stories about her mum and what a special person she was. As we get closer to our big day, I often feel sad and angry that cancer took her away from us. I wish I'd had the opportunity to get to know her better - and even more than that, I wish there was a cure for this horrible thing that affects so many people. So, this 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.
