I'm taking part in Race for Life to raise money to beat cancer!
My Story
Over 2019 to 2021, I have had times of being bedridden due to Functional Neurological Disorder and a condition that has been affecting my heart rate and blood pressure. I am now appropriately medicated and getting some of the required support and it's really helping. As the result of this, I am fighting back stronger than ever, back in work, and walking everywhere I can! But why Cancer Research... ...Cancer is happening right now! There's a high chance we all know a sufferer, survivor or someone who sadly didn't make it. Nothing is more painful for these people than trying to smile and remain positive, but during and/or after chemotherapy and radiotherapy, you know the person is physically changing and/or has physically changed and they suffer with this sadness. Cancer affects 1 in 2 people in their lifetime and survival rate is just over 50%, which is double what it was 40 years ago. All of the research and improvements in medicine and treatment have allowed this to happen. Cancer Research UK has played a big part in the research side of this and continues to every day. Together, we can beat cancer! I appreciate you taking time to read this far... No donations are forced!
CAUSE

Cancer survival rates have doubled over the past 40 years. Consistent progress is being made but improvements to technology and ground-breaking work offer new opportunities to find different ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer and improve survival rates even further. Help Cancer Research UK improve results even faster.
