Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Sadly in June 2018 my husband Leon was diagnosed with Tonsil Cancer. To say it was a shock is an understatement. I can honestly say it was one of the worst moments of my life and I still find it very hard to talk about. Our two gorgeous boys kept us smiling throughout and for that we are so blessed. Cancer is a battle we all hope we’ll never face but unfortunately 1 in 2 of us will, at some time in our life.
Thankfully after three lots of surgery by an amazing team of people, Leon is now cancer free. He now attends monthly reviews and will continue to be closely monitored for the next 5 years.
I have chosen to raise as much money as possible by walking at least 10,000 steps a day in March for The Throat Cancer Foundation. This charity operates nationally and aims to reduce the impact of throat cancers by offering support, advice and reassurance to those affected, not only to the person who has cancer, but to their friends and loved ones as well; making sure they have access to the most up to date information, knowledge about available treatments and what to expect in recovery during their illness. Its work is backed and guided by a team of leading world class cancer experts and consultants operating in the fields of research and treatment for the illnesses they are fighting.
So any amount no matter how much will go to help this very worthy cause and continue to help people like us.
Thank you so much
