I'm taking part in Race for Life to raise money to beat cancer sooner.
In memory of
Steven McCreight
18th Feb 1986 - 1st Nov 2016
In July 2014 our world was turned upside down when Steven McCreight - a much loved son, brother, nephew, cousin and friend - was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer at the tender age of 28. (The photo was taken just two months before on holiday.) Five months later, in December 2014 - following a period of unsuccessful tube feeding and chemotherapy - he underwent an operation to remove the tumour. The following month, in January 2015, he got the all-clear from cancer. We thought that’d be the end of it. But fate had other plans. One and two-thirds years later, in September 2016, his cancer came back with a vengeance - it was terminal. Because the cancer was so far advanced, treatment was not possible. Nearly six weeks later Steven passed away at the tender age of 30. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 5k to raise money and save lives. 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
