My Story
Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 5k to raise money and save lives. Unfortunately, cancer has been a huge part of my life for the last few years. I lost my dad, Philip, to thymic cancer in 2016, my mama Sheila has been living with terminal lung cancer, and at the beginning of this year my mum Anna-Marie was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. That's why I would like to raise as much money as we can to help Cancer Research save lives and make new breakthroughs in their research to ensure cancer won't ever win! 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me now.
