I'm taking on a Race for Life Pretty Muddy to raise money to hear the words “we’ve found a cure for cancer”.
My Story
I remember the very moment my Mum sat me down and said the words “I’ve got cancer”. The gut wrenching feeling in the pit of my stomach, the tears that flowed and the silence that followed will forever be engrained in my memory. There is nothing that can prepare you to hear someone you love say those devastating words to you. 5 years later my Mum was lucky enough to get the all clear. But there are people that unfortunately won’t be so lucky, people fighting with everything they have- uncertain about the outcome. Please support me in funding much needed research, every penny really does count. 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. 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.
