Hi, I’m Lou, and my husband Dan Keogh and my sister Sam Kerslake are two of the very brave (or slightly crazy), Mploy team that is taking part in this Skydive to raise money for Breast Cancer Care.

 I was diagnosed with breast cancer, grade 3: the most aggressive form in December 2010.  After removal of an initial tumor, I have been on extensive chemotherapy and have recently undergone further surgery for removal of my lymph nodes and am currently awaiting the results. Discovering you have cancer is like a bomb going off, you never think it is going to happen to you.  My beautiful twins, Ava and Sonny are 21 months, and it’s difficult with the intensity of my treatment to care and play with them as much as I want too.

I have come to terms with the cancer as much as I can; I have to stay positive for my family and my children.  And, I have the most wonderful support from my amazing family.  The team at Poole Hospital has been fantastic too, from consultants through to the McMillan nurses, the work they do is invaluable! 

 So, please, we are grateful for anything you can donate!  Raising money is essential to help continue the important work that Breast Cancer Care do in a bid to help find a cure and help support people with this awful disease.

Thank you so much!

Lou
