I'm taking part in Race for Life to raise money to beat cancer sooner.
My Story
9 years ago my uncle who we was so close to was diagnosed with lung cancer and very soon after passed away. Last year my nan who was 95 was diagnosed with lung cancer which spread all over. My nan sadly passed away last October 2017, it was only February 2017 that we was dancing with her at her birthday party. Me and my friends are doing the race for life to raise money for cancer research and hope that one day a treatment can be found to stop cancer. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 5k to raise money and save lives. 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
