Thanks for taking the time to visit Paula's JustGiving page.

Paula is attempting to swim the cold, gruelling, 23 mile length of Loch Ness in aid of Cancer Research.  Too many of us know someone who is living with cancer and the difficulty and heartache it brings with it.  We want to raise as much as we can for the research required to help prevent this disease and to help those who are fighting the fight.

Paula was deciding on which charity to represent when she met a newly found work friend.  On their second meet, KC told Paula that there was something that had been so much a part of her life, she wanted Paula to be aware so that she could get to understand her better as a friend.

KC went on to explain that her cancer story started in 2013 with breast cancer and a full mastectomy - in 2014 she had bowel cancer and underwent a bowel resection.  In 2015 the bowel cancer had metastasised to her liver and she had a liver resection.  in 2018 the bowel cancer was found in her lungs which over the next 2 years resulted in 3 lung resections.  All of these included a mixture of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

But did Paula have a poorly lady sitting in front of her - far from it - this lady was beautiful, strong, healthy and cancer free and had been for 3 years.  The adversity this strong woman had gone through was astounding.  It just goes to prove - it was worth the fight!!!!  Decision made - Cancer Research was the charity that Paula wanted to represent.

Since then, KC has sadly found that the cancer has returned but in the last few months a new treatment has been made available as a result of the research.  KC will commence treatment shortly and, of course, we send her all our love and best wishes - Keep Fighting The Fight Katharine!!!!  

If you have any spare pennies that you are able to donate to this hugely worthwhile cause, Paula and those KC's amongst us, would be forever grateful.

Here's hoping Nessie gives Paula a helping hand along the way!

Thanks a Million. xxxxx
