Thanks for taking the time in your busy lives to look at our Ipreo Happy RunnersJust Giving page!I want to share my story with you all in order to generate greater awareness of CERVICAL CANCER as its prevention is so easy!

I was diagnosed with Cervical cancer now over a year ago. Following treatment I am now happy to say that I am in the clear! I had a smear test which helped spotted this nasty cancer just at an early stage which saved my life!

It has served as a true “wake-up call” for me. It has reinforced to me not only my own mortality, but that of everyone else around me and the fragility of life. Most importantly, it has served to show me ways in which we can be of help to others, and to appreciate every day as a gift. So, the time has come for action!

 My colleagues and I are on a  mission to create greater awareness surrounding cancer and most specifically Cervical Cancer. Please help us along the long road and to the finish line by donating as much as you can spare for this worthy cause that is truly close to our heart.

 We would urge you also to speak to your friends, family, and anyone else you may cross paths with in order to highlight and raise awareness about the simple prevention that EVERYONE should follow:

Take a SMEAR test – they are free and simple to get done. It is so easy to get caught up in our busy lives, and to let such things slip. But this could cost you your life, and could have cost my children their mother.
