Story

On Saturday 18th August 2018 I will be taking part in the Tough Mudder Half with 'Team Area 61' to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust which is an incredible charity that have provided life changing care and support for myself and other young people in the UK.

On 25th May 2016 at 19 years old I was diagnosed with Stage 2A Hodgkins Lymphoma. My only symptom was a lump above my collar bone, and the possibility of it being Cancer never occured to me.

1 Month later I began a course of chemotherapy at Southmead Hospital surrounded by other patients who were 20+ years older than me. 

I was put in touch with Teenage Cancer Trust staff who were based at the BRI and although I was treated in a different hospital they went above and beyond to provide me with the support I needed during and more importantly after treatment when I was sent back to 'reality.' They gave me the mental health support I needed and were always at the other end of the phone, ready for me.

Not only have TCT provided me with medical/mental health support but they gave me the opportunity to meet people my age outside of the hospital environment who have also gone through treatment. Some of whom I can now call my closest friends. 

I was given the all clear on 30th January 2017. 16 Months later and the Teenage Cancer Trust are still offering me support and new experiences which I will be forever grateful for. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and read a little bit about my story and how the Teenage Cancer Trust have helped me. By signing myself up to the Tough Mudder Half I hope to reach my fundraising target of £350 as my way of saying thank you and to give Teenage Cancer Trust just a small amount of what they deserve. I would be grateful for all donations no matter how big/small they are.
