Kat's Race for Life

Cancer is all around us. Almost everyone knows someone that has fought or is fighting this horrible disease or even worse, they have lost someone to it. Whenever I hear of someone being diagnosed my heart breaks but nothing could have prepared me for the news that my amazing mum was starting her very own fight. It has been a tough few months but fingers crossed the news will be good at the next appointment. My mum is my rock when things get hard and there has been little I could do to help her through the operations and treatment so when she asked me if I would walk this part of her journey with her, I jumped at the chance. I am hopeful that one day there will be a cure but until then, one step at a time I will do what I can to support my mum and all other survivors and that 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.
