2/52 - The light that remains
'There is a light that never goes out, that never leaves when they leave. It remains and is adored through words written and memories told. It will not extinguish.'
I lost my grandad at the age of 8 years old and back then I didn't understand the effect that cancer had on so many people's lives. Only when I grew older I could truly understand the destruction it creates. We remember those we have lost to cancer through the light they bring in our hearts and through actions we take to prevent others from feeling the pain.
On Saturday I am taking part in the 5k 'Pretty Muddy' Race for life with Kirstie & Abigail. The race is to raise money for Cancer Research UK, who not only research to find ways to prevent the disease but also to help those in recovery to bring light in the dark times.
I have set up a Just Giving page and I would really appreciate if you could donate to this incredible charity (no matter how big or small of a contribution): www.justgiving.com/fundraising/hollyrosestones
We‘re the world‘s leading cancer charity dedicated to saving and improving lives through research. We fund research into the prevention, detection and treatment of more than 200 types of cancer through the work of over 4,000 scientists, doctors and nurses.
