Danielle and Linsey's story:

In December 2013 my mother Linsey Houliston was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.

When having a routine mammogram doctors found 3 lumps. (The year before she was fine) Linsey had those lumps removed with two operations. Luckily it had not hit her nodes and had NOT spread, however...

The results from doctors explained that it was a type 2 aggressive form of cancer which would mean chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This means Linsey will be treated for the next 6 months and will lose her hair. (Her hair has now all gone) :-(

Linsey is the bravest AND STRONGEST person I know, and still wishes to participate despite being in the last stages of treatment. Her exact words were 'I am still taking part even if I have to bloody well walk!' 

All I have to say is WOW! This is my mother... made of strong tough stuff! Nothing will stop her or erase the smile on her face!

With this in mind... 
Let's not only continue to check ourselves and get this early!
Let's continue to support Cancer Research UK and the NHS, their amazing doctors and nurses who don't 'work' they have a 'vocation'! They are doing a job that they love. They are saving lives and helping those less fortunate fight.... And continue to fight!  

This will be my 3rd year running and 2nd year running/walking with my wonderful and brave mother Linsey Houliston.

Last year we ran for my Granddad (John Houliston, Linsey's father) who was fighting Bowel Cancer. This year we run for LINSEY. (Even if I push her round in a wheel chair!)
