My Story

For everyone who knows me then they know I’m not one for any kind of exercise... but this year I have started to change that for a great cause... A long time ago I lost my nephew when he was only small and it was one of the hardest times of my life and obviously my family! We don’t talk about him as much as we should. But remember him every day! His smile, his laugh, his cheeky personality and his wish for us all to love life and live life! And not to be sad for him! Children are our future, and every penny raised will help improve the treatment of this horrible disease. I will be doing this walk for my nephew Owen and all of my family and my extended family after the recent loss of Kevin, my husband Liam’s brother. Will all know someone currently suffering, or have known someone that have suffered. Please, please sponsor me for my first ever charity walk! Thank you. Each year Cancer Research UK’s scientists get closer to beating cancer, and they’ve helped double survival rates in the last 40 years. But we can’t stop there. Only with our continued support can they turn this research into breakthroughs that save millions of lives. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me now.

CAUSE

Leukaemia

Five-year survival rates for leukaemia have more than tripled in the last 40 years. But despite this progress, around 4,600 people still lose their lives to the disease every year. Almost a third of all cancers diagnosed in children are leukaemia. Your donation can help Cancer Research UK find better treatments and new ways to prevent the disease in adults and children.
