Story
We are joining Cancer Research UK's Race for Life this year.
Cancer affects thousands of people every year and with your help and support we CAN help make a difference.
Around 3 years ago Sarah found out she had inherited the BRCA2 gene from her mum. In 2013 she made the brave decision to have a double mastectomy to reduce her risk of getting breast cancer. On the 4th July 2014 she had her surgery at the QE hospital Birmingham. Her journey was tough and there were many ups and downs including a servere infection. Since her operation she has undergone more corrective surgery but is now on the road to recovery.
Sarah has had amazing support from all her family, Dan's family and also her friends throughout the tough times.
Sarah's Mum is currently having treatment for secondary breast cancer and is within a clinical trial. Her fight is hard but she is being extremely brave and taking each day as it comes. She is a inspiration! Without the research into Cancer treatments this would not be possible for her.
Sarah wants to take part in the Race For Life to help make a difference to people living with similar stories.
Claire's Nan & Amy's Great Nan unfortuneatly lost her fight to lung cancer. Cancer has also affected people who are close to their loved ones. They both want to raise money and awareness to help try and prevent this horrible disease.
We ask that you all join the fight by digging deep and sponsoring us - it's quick, easy and totally secure.
Events like this are vital in funding Cancer Research UK's life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me, we can unite and create an army that cancer can't ignore. By sponsoring me, we will beat cancer sooner.
We want to say a big THANK YOU! For all your help and support.
Love
Sarah, Claire & Amy x x x
