My Story
For Me the fight against Cancer is personal. Too many people that I knew and loved were not lucky enough to win the battle. It's such a horrible illness that doesn't care who it hurts. I really hope that a cure is found sooner rather than later so that no one else has to suffer. My taking part is for everyone whose been a victim but essentially for - * Jennifer Dagger, My Mother who sadly passed away in 2009 of liver cancer, after beating breast cancer in 1992. * Chris Wickens, My Aunt who sadly passed away from bowel cancer in 2012 * Darren West (Tubbs), My Brother-in-Law who passed away in 2008. * Sylvia Reeves, My God Mother * Brian Derrick, a close family friend who sadly passed away from bowel cancer in 2014 * Violet Eager, My Grandmother who sadly passed away from cancer of the oesophagus last year 2016 * Tony Dagger, My Uncle who successfully beat bowel cancer * Phylis Dagger, My Aunt who beat skin cancer * Lee West, My Husband who successfully beat cancer in 2008. 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.
