My Story
I started taking part in The Race For Life in 2009 after my 2nd Mum as she is known was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. She has overcome this and is still cancer free today! Before that my Granda was diagnosed with throat cancer, he too was able to over come the disease. In 2011 a good friend Big Sis as she was known was diagnosed with Cancer and lost her battle. My Aunt Lil was diagnosed with breast cancer three times and in 2015 lost her battle. In late 2015 My Uncle Bill was diagnosed with bone cancer and in April 2016 lost his battle. In 2016 my Besties mum was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and after getting the all clear in late 2016, it returned as a secondary in 2017 she also lost her battle. Early this year My Uncle Leslie was diagnosed with cancer and after a short battle lost his life, he told me whilst attending the Cancer Unit for treatment that the statistics are now that 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. I want to help those diagnosed and make sure that if you are one of those 1 in 2 that you know that you will overcome it!
