My Story
In September 2018 our mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer, she was told she had just 11 months left until she had radiotherepy where she was told she could get up to 16 months, sadly this month we found out that it had spread and she now has less than 6 months left and will not live to see her 50th birthday. We are raising money to help people not be in the situation we were in, not knowing how long, research will help find treatment that can help people spend time with their families and watch them grow. Sadly our mum won't get to see her grandchildren grow up. Research can make changes on how we treat and prevent this horrible disease. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 5k to raise money and save lives. 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me now.
