Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 5k to raise money and save lives.

On Christmas Eve I walked in to a breast clinic where the amazing staff performed various checks and tests to determine whether a lump was something more than just a lump. I walked out with the all clear, incredibly thankful that it was only a lump, though noticing that the waiting room was full of women who may not have received such happy news. They would have had to endure a tough Christmas and year ahead and I couldn’t bear the thought of it.
My dad has battled so strongly, and now has to battle once more and it’s not fair. It’s not fair on anyone and I need to do whatever I can to make a difference in tackling the cruelty of this disease.
