Welcome to our sponsored donations page. On Sunday 21st june 2015 myself and my niece are going to cycle 55 miles from Becon to Cardiff in aid off cancer research. Please sponsor us by giving donations anything from £5, £10 or whatever you feel....? However there are so many who sadly don't.
Just imagine if in the future you had cancer how great it would be if someone told you 'don't worry there is a cure'. I know times are hard and there are cut backs everywhere but, please, please give us your support and make a donation to help us beat this.............
It's going to be a really tough day for both me and my niece as nether of us are athletes or slim. in fact I'm actually 19st having had a thyroid issue, 2 hearts attacks (in one day) and bowel cancer at the beginning of last year. I beat it but sadly there are so many others who are less fortunate and this is for them too. Already to date i have lost four members of my family(aunts, uncles and a cousin) and my mum just lost her partner of ten years to this horrid disease. Many of my friends too have had that awful news when they sit you down and tell I'm sorry but you have cancer. i remember myself all you hear is the word cancer and everything is gone your alone in your own body. Emotions/fear rushing over you not knowing where/what/why. All you keep thinking over and over is I'm going to die. A rush of heat hit me and i just wanted to hide somewhere n cry n then find some plan of action. How i was going to die.......
Scared and totally out of touch with everything thinking how do i tell people .....
. I was just one lucky ones who made it through the horrendous very high doses of chemo and radio treatments. I also had amazing friends Laura & Gail who did my shopping and everything else as i was to weak. I can never thank them enough. Determined I caught the bus at the bus stop every morning. Through all the snow and ice to Velindre Cancer Hospital I would trot often falling over on ice al cursing in pain. I hated the treatments i looked like something out of a horror movie. Radio had given me no skin at all around my waist, privates, bum and completely around like a band of flesh slowly rotting. Every morning i would tell myself you can do this, you have to. all this whist my bowels constantly violently discharged every 10 mins. One day a got into the 40s n I'd feel like i can't go on, no, no more. My friends on face book got me through it and i was already writing mostly everything on there to highlight the day to day what a cancer patient goes through. I thought that was important. Especially as I and other cancer patients could have died and other were dying every day. Everybody knew what cancer was but no one really knew what you go through unless you've been there.
So this is why I'm giving back to help find that cure for all of us.
Please help me and show your support and sponsor me by making a donation.
It's my time to give back and beat this......
