In memory of
Rebecca Roberts
7th Feb 1997 - 25th Dec 2016
Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. I am doing the Race for Life Pretty Muddy 5k on 1st June at Temple Newsome in Leeds. I am raising money for Cancer Research in the hope that one day there will be a cure. No one should ever go through the loss of a loved one, especially not their young daughter, sadly this happened to me, on Christmas Day 2016 my beautiful baby lost her fight with Cancer. At the age of 3 Rebecca was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour, she endured lengthy stints of radiation and chemotherapy. At the age of 5 we were told that the treatment had been successful. The treatment left Rebecca with extensive learning and mobility disabilities, but this never stopped her living life to the full. When Rebecca reached the age of 18 she started to once again get prominent headaches. I contacted the hospital immediately and my family and I were told that another brain tumour had appeared but this time it was different - this time their would be no miraculous recovery. As you can imagine my world fell apart, for the next 12 months I made our remaining time together the best it could possibly be. On Christmas Day 2016 the day came when Rebecca became an angel. My heart was broken and has remained this way since. I want to raise money for Cancer Research in the hope that one day there will be no more suffering.
