My Story
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. I am raising money in honour of my wife's grandfather, Wilson. After our wedding, we had the privilege of flying to Brazil to meet him. He was one of the strongest people I have ever met. He didn't tell anyone that he was diagnosed and noone would have ever been able to tell... He was so selfless, generous, resilient and brave; a man of honour who was loved by everyone in the community. He was battling cancer for nearly 10 years and is an example to many. And although he didn't die of cancer, I want to contribute to the research to help find better treatments.
CAUSE
Developing better treatments
From testing new therapies to finding better ways of using existing therapies, our clinical trials have helped improve cancer treatment. But these treatments don’t work for everyone and can have short- and long-term side effects. With your support, we can find kinder, more effective treatments so that people can live longer, better lives.
