Cancer is relentess. But so are we. 

Nothing to prove...

....Everything to share.
I heard this quote during the week and it's resonated with me. Hannah and I have nothing to prove on Sunday, it's not a battle to win, I'm not out to show anyone anything. I'm there because I hope I can cross the finish line. It means a lot to see the support that we've had from everyone so far, think of us on Sunday and send wishes for a great outcome xx

So here we are

In 2023, I found a lump in my breast and so started a series of hospital appointments which resulted in a diagnosis of Breast Cancer. Thanks to the NHS, I received timely treatment including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However it is just not possible for the NHS to provide all the time and information that women like me are looking for when we find ourselves in this awful situation and this is where charities like Cancer Research come in.

Previous research has enabled the NHS to provide the appropriate chemotherapy and regime of radiotherapy for my specific type of tumour. The oral chemo that I will be taking over the next two years has only been available relatively recently and I am grateful to the women who took part in the trials to establish this as a drug of choice to prevent recurrence in women like me.

This is part of a fundraising commitment that I have made to " give back" a little to the various charities which have supported me throughout this brutal time and I thank you all for your support.

Updated Fundraising Target

Whilst my goal remains to be at the start line on 23rd February 2025, your support so far has been immense....

So, I've increased the Fundraising goal to £500. I know we can achieve this!

Thank you for supporting me!
