Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. So... here is my story...
In October 2015, days after my husband had completed five gruelling months of cancer treatment, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Appointments, scans, chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy followed and in June 2016 I finally completed my treatment. I was ecstatic to finish but was left bald, scarred, poisoned and zapped with severe fatigue and very little self confidence.
In January this year I decided to take control! I stood down from the job I love and have been in since leaving university, I began the C25k training course, joined Slimmingworld and decided to look after myself more.
So here I am 4 months later and am running a distance I could never in a million years have expected to ever run (even before cancer)! But I’ve made it! I want to mark my journey and how far I have come by
fundraising for my favourite charity ~ PACSO! I have worked for this amazing charity since 2000 and during my treatment the urge to get back to the normality of work was such a driving force. I dearly love all the children and families we support ~ and want to raise some much needed funds for future opportunities.
I am also grateful to Cancerwise who provided me with counselling, reflexology and a weekly art class and I am thrilled to see that they are beneficiaries of this event.
If you can spare a few quid ~ I’d be most grateful!
And if you’re free on Sunday 21st May ~ come and join with my gorgeous family to cheer me on!
