My Story
My Story Thank you for visiting my Fundraising Page. The money I raise will help fund life-saving research and to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. I was diagnosed with bowel cancer aged 24, in November 2022, after having some symptoms for just two weeks. My diagnosis and prognosis have been a complete shock to me, my family and friends. I have really appreciated all the support and treatment that I have received from all the staff at the Cancer Centre, the Oncology Treatment Suite and the colorectal cancer services team at the Q.E.Hospital in Birmingham. As an F2 Junior Doctor I appreciate how important up-to-date research is in helping increase treatment options for people, like me, who are currently undergoing chemotherapy. I have chosen Cancer Research UK as the charity I would like to raise money for because the research they fund is crucial in the search for new treatment options, early diagnosis and hopefully cures for all cancers. A number of fundraising events are being organised by my family and friends in the upcoming months. Keynsham Hockey Club are starting off the fundraising by organising a quiz in early March where profits will go to Cancer Research UK. There will be other activities to take part in or you can just make a donation.
