I'm not good at writing long meaningful messages so i will keep it short but feel that if you know more about my amazing friend Hope's story you will help me raise money for her treatment.

Hope is just 27 and was first diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma in 2014 and after 2 operations, 6 rounds of chemo and countless radiotherapy she was in remission. Having just bought a house and being proposed too she was busy planning her wedding and the rest of her future until 10th December when she found out the cancer had returned. She now has metastasised secondary cancer of the lung and lymph nodes and needs to take action URGENTLY. Everything has been cancelled and everyone has one focus which is to help Hope to get the treatment she needs which can only be found in America.

When I heard the news I was devastated, shocked, upset and angry amongst many other emotions and remembered that last time this happened she shut me down and told me she had every intention to beat this shit. She hates people making a fuss and being all soppy so i haven't told her this but since 15th December she has inspired me to be a better, kinder and more positive person. In order to show her and her family as much as support as possible i was thinking of what i could do to raise money for her treatment. I thought about getting my all my hair dreaded but decided that would be selfish as it would make me happy so thought about the one thing i hate most in the world. CARDIO! Then i remembered a charity event my friend Corey did a few months back which also inspired me, so decided i would also attempt a 24hr bike ride in my local gym. My amazing fiancé has kindly offered to support me on this challenge so long story short on the 16th February we will be doing a 24 hr bike ride!

This is going to be hard but you know what's harder? beating cancer for the third time! please support me and Erhan so we can raise as much money has possible towards Hope's treatment. All we want is for her to continue living the life she has worked so hard to build. She is such an amazing soul that we cannot just sit back and wait for a miracle we NEED to help raise this money. Please please help us, every little helps xxx
