My Story
Cancer is cruel and touches the lives of everyone whose loved one is diagnosed with it. I know this first hand and it is happening to me right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 10k to raise money and save lives. The years I should have with my Popsie have been cut short due to a form of lung cancer called Mesothelioma. We have had to watch this cruel disease take away the person we know and I want to play a part, however small, in helping to find cures for all types of cancer, but most especially those cancers where there is currently no cure, like with Mesothellioma. Please sponsor me now and know that every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work. Donating through this page is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with Cancer Research UK. Thank you so much for reading, and for supporting me through sponsorship. You are all amazing.
