Story

We are trying to raise money for Maggie’s Manchester in memory of my dear sister Leila.  We ‘lost’ Leila last year to secondary breast cancer, the pain and grief is still very raw 😞 Those of you that know me well, know that I am coming up to the 5 year mark of my own last chemo for breast cancer, a milestone Leila celebrated a week before being re-diagnosed 💔 I cannot put into words the grief and fear I feel on a daily basis before ‘painting on a smile’ and getting on with the day - cancer charity’s (like many others) have taken a huge financial hit during Covid, if you can spare a couple of pounds to support this cause it would be very much appreciated  🙏 

Maggie’s gave Leila and Stew a lot of support in her final months and became very close to all of our hearts. I am going to try to walk 100 miles in 2 weeks to help raise funds. 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.I'm raising money to make sure people with cancer get the support they need at this really difficult time.Screenings have been missed, treatments have been altered and surgeries postponed. For some there will be unbearable mental anguish as they learn that their cancer is no longer treatable or survivable. You can make a difference.Maggie's provides free support to people with cancer and their loved ones in centres across the UK.Please donate. With your help, we can make sure people with cancer get the support they need.
