Emma's Race for Life
Birmingham Pretty Muddy 5k 2018
Sat 14 Jul 2018
Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life Pretty Muddy to raise money and save lives. Grandpa Hubbard has Squamous cell carcinoma which is a primary tongue cancer and secondary tumour in his neck and his lymphs. He begins treatment this coming Wednesday for 6 weeks. He is going to be receiving chemo every Wednesday and radiotherapy is every day except weekends. His journey has been tough up until this point and will continue to be a challenge in the coming weeks. I am running to raise money to enable people like him to receive the specialist equipment when they need it. So that they get diagnosis and treatment faster. It is truly heartbraking to see people and families who are affected by cancer. 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me now.
