Story
Cancer is happening right now, which is why we're fundraising right now for Cancer Research UK. We both have close relatives who have had to fight cancer and brave the risks of surgery and chemotherapy treatment. Having seen first-hand the effects of cancer on the patient, their family and friends, we were inspired to help with the fund raising for Cancer Research UK by partaking in Pretty Muddy on 23rd June 2018. Ashleigh My Auntie K has always been my role model, 'surrogate mam' and best friend. I have watched how brave, selfless and strong she has been since she was diagnosed with cancer last summer. It has been an unbelievably tough year and I am happy to say she is very well and back at work as our much loved GP in Salford. She has had overwhelming support from her family, patients and friends. She clearly has helped so many people in her time, both in and out of her work, and she is held in such high regard. I could not be more proud of my Auntie. I signed up for Pretty Muddy the day she had her first haircut as I want to continue to raise funds to help those who need support. I am lucky to be partaking in this with my amazing friend Donna, who has also supported me throughout. Donna I have seen a number of family members fight cancer and luckily, they have been fortunate enough to beat it and make a full recovery however; that isn't always the case. Cancer has such a huge and dramatic effect on the lives of not only those suffering but their friends and family too. I was inspired to take part in the Pretty Muddy event after Ashleigh told me about her Auntie K's first haircut, after recovering from cancer. I hope to raise money for those going through difficult times as a result of cancer; past, present and future. We realise we have left it with only a week to go but would really appreciate any kind donations before the event. Thank you for visiting our page and helping raise awareness. Much love, Donna & Ashleigh x
