My Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. All the money I raise will help fund invaluable research and to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. Sadly, so many of us know someone who has been, or is, continually affected by cancer, I long for the day when a cure for all cancers is found. After an initial breast cancer diagnosis in 2016 at aged 33 with a then two year old, despite gruelling surgery, chemo and ongoing preventative treatments, I was devastated to be told that the cancer had returned in 2021. So I’m now living with a terminal diagnosis, with ongoing, indefinite chemo every three weeks and subsequent tough side effects. Along with chemo, I also endure regular injections, heart and CT scans, oncology reviews, appointments and medications which will be ongoing until the cancer becomes resistant (as it did again last year) and I’ll then eventually run out of options and clinical trials. My amazing friend Karrie is running The Great South run with friends on Sunday 19th October 2025, in aid of my fundraising efforts for Cancer Research. I’m hugely grateful for her generosity and support in doing so. I would dearly love to be able to raise £100,000 as a legacy for my son and to raise vital funds for new treatment options for existing and future cancer patients. Please donate what you can towards her amazing feat for which I’m incredibly grateful. Thank you. x
