Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Just under 10 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was really lucky... The treatment was harsh and I picked up a pretty nasty infection after surgery, but ten years on I have scars and ongoing issues BUT I am still here... and that’s thanks to the NHS and the research done to improve the treatment. Since then I have seen countless ladies lose the battle to Breast Cancer. Some I have known personally and have been left in disbelief that they have gone and wondering why I was the lucky one. So as it is my 10 year anniversary of surviving this hideous disease and to remember sisters that didn’t,  I have decided to join Women versus Cancer and cycle from London to Paris next September. I have barely cycled since I was about 12 so this is going to be a real challenge. Your donations towards the charities would be gratefully received and I aim to raise the actual cost of the ride myself so you can be sure your money will be go directly to the charities. If anyone wants to join me it’s not too late to sign up😀.
