I'm taking part in Race for Life for my grandad!
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. Over the past few years, 2 of my relatives have been diagnosed with cancer. My auntie and my grandad. In 2016, my auntie was in hospital all the time, and she was very ill. We went to go and visit her after her operation, and we got to take her home as she was lucky enough for the cancer to be removed. My grandad however was diagnosed with cancer again in 2017 after already beating prostate cancer a few years ago. My mum took him to all of his appointments and was there when he had all of his operations. He had chemotherapy, but started to get too ill, so they had to stop and give him something else. We're now waiting for the outcome, so please support me in raising more money as I would be very grateful.
