Story
Crazily I have decided to run my first competitive race at the age of 53. I am doing this for Breast Cancer Now. I want survival from this disease to continue to improve.
We all have someone in our lives who has or had Breast cancer.
My mum had breast cancer over 7 years ago and luckily survived and has fully recovered. My oldest friend's mum died in her 30's from breast cancer. A real tragedy to lose your mum as a teenager. More recently 5 close friends, who are my age, have been diagnosed with this disease. Luckily again, they too are doing well. This is a really common disease. I am a GP and I see many patients with breast cancer. I hope that treatments can continue to improve with more clinical trials funded by charities, such as Breast Cancer Now, and consequently more women and men can survive from this disease.
