My Story
This charity is rather personal to me and my family. In september 2014, my sister received the news a woman would never want to hear. She was diagnosed with cervical cancer. This ultimately led to her having her cervix removed which proceeded with the 'all clear' news. However, she was sadly rediagnosed in March 2015 and the cancer had travelled to other parts of her body including her uterus, kidneys and bowel. This resulted in her having to have 6 chemo sessions and 6 radiotherapy sessions. She has been scarred for life and the pain that she had to go through and continues to through is unfathomable. This has changed her life, yet she still continues to be an absolutely incredible woman. I hope that by me, running/walking/cycling 10km a day for 31 days in March can raise awareness around this subject.
