My Story
Cancer is the most common human genetic disease. The transition from a normal cell to a malignant cancer is driven by changes to a cell's DNA, also known as mutations. My Family has been really close to cancer (different types) and it is scary. My mother has had ovarian cancer (ovaries were removed), my cousin recently had testicular cancer (testicles were removed) and my favourite person in the family died from breast cancer after fighting it for more than 8 years (breast were removed but it was too late) : My dearest auntie Rocío. She was like a second mother to me and I would like to dedicate this race to her. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I’m raising money right now for Cancer Research UK. There’s no time to lose! Donate to my page today and help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.
