Kick-a-thon (1000 kicks)
Every year my martial arts club (Family Martial Arts, Liverpool) does a kick-a-thon where the students are asked to do 1000 kicks for a local charity. This year we are raising money for 19-year-old Hannah who was recently diagnosed with cancer. Hannah was diagnosed with bowl cancer in May of this year after being told on numerous occasions it was irritable bowel syndrome. Doctors later found she also had four cancerous tumours on her liver; they cut some of her bowel out and started chemo hoping the liver tumours would shrink. The tumours did shrink and Hannah was told everything was working and she had a bright future until she started getting excruciating pains. When Doctors investigated they unfortunately found that although the tumours were shrinking on her liver it had spread to other places, and Hannah has been told that they are no looking for a cure, she is now terminally ill. We’re trying to raise money so she can cross some things off her bucket list and also buy a motorised wheel chair so she can keep some of her independence.
The kick-a-thon will be held on Thursday 1st December.
Any donations would be greatly appreciated.
