My Story
Sarah’s story: In January this year I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I could never have imagined that this disease would be something that would affect me so directly, especially at only 20 years old. Whilst the diagnosis was a massive shock, I couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who has supported me and been so amazing at getting me through my treatment so far💗 I’ve decided to take part in the Race for Life this year as I finally have a break from surgery, and this whole experience has shown me how cancer really can affect anyone and how important developments in cancer research can be. I’m also hoping that raising a bit of money will give me some motivation to get fit post-surgery, so any donations would be greatly appreciated!
