It's over 4 years since I was diagnosed and over 3 1/2 since I was declared officially No Evidence of Disease. I'm one of the lucky ones, but since I joined Club Cancer, I've lost too many of my new friends. I'm doing this to raise money so that no one else has to be in my shoes or worse, those that haven't made it. Cancer is ruthless and a hideous disease, it takes months even years to beat it and then for some, you are never quite free. But each year Cancer Research UK’s scientists get closer to beating cancer, and they’ve helped double survival rates in the last 40 years. But we can’t stop there.

Only with our continued support can they turn this research into breakthroughs that save millions of lives. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me, or I will walk all bloody night and annoy you all with posts of me falling into the bushes, I'll probably do that anyway.... thank you, Marie x
