My Story
Hi - I’m Mel and I’ve decided to do Race for Life 2019. People my age are being diagnosed with this disease, and people are dying at my age from this disease. It hits scarily close to home when you know somebody taken at your age, and it makes you stand up and think “This shouldn’t be happening”. But, sadly, cancer has no age limit. The truth is, it doesn’t matter how old somebody is.It doesn’t choose people based on age. Whether you’re 80 or 18 this disease is very real and it’s happening right now. Every two minutes somebody in the UK is diagnosed with cancer and every four minutes somebody in the UK dies from cancer. All of us are affected by this disease and together we will help beat cancer. Every pound donated helps this brilliant charity in everything they do. Help me and help Cancer Research UK by donating. Thank you.
