in april we lost our mum angela from her battle with melanoma it was a long battle but one thing for sure is she never gave up the fight.It was almost 10 years ago when she found a black spot on the sole of her foot,straight away she went to the doctors who took a biopsy to see what it was, when the results came back it was not confirmed has melanoma but to keep any eye on it which she did  for a year or 2 before asking for another test this time it was confirmed has melanoma which my mum found strange with it being on her foot, she and we thought you only got it from too much sun anyway she had it removed(half her foot)and also some lymph nodes,the doctors told her it hadnt spread any further and over the years she kept having blood tests and checkups  which always came back clear she seemed to be in great health again but in 2018 she started getting headaches went back to the doctors had lots of tests saying it could be this or that until in jan 2019 after an mri it was confirmed has cancer of the brain plus it had spread to other parts, all the tiime she seemed healthy the only place not tested was her brain after a year of the biggest fight of our families life our mum sadly left us on april 9th 2020.....

we have 3 reasons to do this challenge

1, please always check your body all over for any mole or spot that is new or looks different if you find one go get it checked out melanoma is the most treat ablle if caught early but the most deadly if not.

2,to raise money for the chosen charity to help in the fight against melanoma and one day cure every case 100%

3,we aimed to do it while mum was here to take her mind off what she was going through and focus on this challenge but we didnt manage that,,but we are now. she said we didnt have to prove to her how much we loved but in her words-  you will only do your own bloody idiots...

if one person reads this and goes to do a body check it will be worth the effort if we raise some money that will be even better..
