My Story
As a family, we are doing this walk to raise money for Cancer Research. Shockingly, the statistics state that 1 in 2 of us will get some form of cancer in our lifetime. Sadly, we have witnessed first hand the distress and heartbreak that comes along with a cancer diagnosis. You never truly appreciate the impact it has on a family until it happens to someone close. In February we got the devastating news that our dad George, had Lymphoma (blood cancer). He has shown incredible strength and determination throughout his ongoing battle and we couldn’t be more proud of him. We will be eternally grateful for the around the clock care the doctors and nurses have given him over the last 6 months. It’s now our turn to give a little back, and we hope with your help, we will be able to raise some money to help save more lives. Thanks so much for you support.
CAUSE
Lymphoma
Survival rates for many types of lymphoma has increased significantly – now, twice as many people survive non-Hodgkin lymphoma as in the 1970s. And four out of five people will survive Hodgkin's lymphoma, compared to fewer than half of patients in the 1970s. Help Cancer Research UK improve effective treatments and survival with your donation.
