My Story
As many of you know cancer has affected my family in a big way. Firstly my twin sister Louisa was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her leg which resulted in an above knee amputation and an intense year of chemotherapy. We are so thankful Louisa has now been cancer free for 18 years. Unfortunately cancer struck our family again in 2014 when my beloved dad was diagnosed with lung cancer never having been a smoker this was a devastating diagnosis. Heartbreakingly my dad passed away 18 months later at the age of 62. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 10k to raise money and save lives. 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
