My good friend Pam is running the Torbay Half Marathon next week and raising much needed funds for Torbay Hospital Breast Care Unit. A couple of her close friends have recently been diagnosed with Breast Cancer (me included) and she wanted to do something to help.

Many of you will know that i was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in February this year and have undergone a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction. I am now nearly half way through my chemotherapy treatment and have had amazing support from my family and friends, especially my lovely boyfriend Dave who has been with me throughout and always manages to make me smile.

Torbay Hospital Breast Care Unit have been amazing throughout my ordeal and have provided continuous support and care to me whilst trying to deal with the situation.

I would really like to give them something in return and because i am not able to do much at the moment i am delighted that Pam will be doing this for me. I hope to help her raise as much money as she can to help this valued unit continue its incredible work.
