My Story
In 2019 I was diagnosed with bowel cancer. Apparently unusual for my age group but not unheard of. A week before Christmas I started my chemotherapy treatment, which consisted of 3 very long months of uncertainties , fear, emotional and physical pain, however with support from family and friends I got through it. I underwent chemotherapy treatment at the Macmillan Centre in Merthyr Tydfil where I was followed by amazing , caring nurses and doctors. I received the good news of my first "all clear" in October 2020 and I'm sure the future tests will be too. The reason I'm participating in The race for life is that I would like to give something back for all the help and support I received. If you can spare a small donation for a great cause I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
