Carly Blackburn

My Story

As we started out this school year, new students full of excitement and hope for the future and staff rested after a fantastic summer ready to get back to the classroom. Within days of the term starting Carly’s teachers and tutor were told about her condition and that she would be undergoing some treatment for a rare cancer that had unfortunately returned. We might’ve expected a sad looking student to enter our classes. But that just didn’t happen. Carly was bright, enthusiastic and engaging to be with. She remained positive throughout some pretty gruelling treatments and hospital stays. Many of her classmates didn’t even realise what was going on. She was determined to keep up with her college work and showed commitment and work ethic beyond all of our expectations given the circumstances. True she was strong minded, quick-witted and didn’t suffer fools. Her personality shone through despite her difficulties. We’re running the race for life to show that despite her short time with us Carly made significant impact on our lives. We want to honour her by raising money to improve the detection, treatment and prevention of cancer. We don’t want to lose another student. Cancer is happening right now, which is why we’re 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. Every single pound you donate makes a difference to Cancer Research UK’s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me now.
