Cancer Warrior! Taking on the Great South Run for Cancer Research UK
Fundraising for Cancer Research UK
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page!
I have been part of the landscaping industry for more than 15 years which meant that I was often outside without thinking to wear sun lotion. In 2017 I became one of 14,500 people every year to be diagnosed with a cancerous melanoma. It was found in the base of my back and had to be surgically removed. I had more suspicious moles removed afterwards just in case, but overall things were going well!
Everything carried on that way until November of 2018. Unfortunately, I became ill overnight with the eventual result being that in February I had further surgery to remove 26 cancerous lymph nodes under my arm.
I'm currently undergoing immunotherapy treatment so the fight continues!
I'm taking part in the Great South Run for Cancer Research UK and Band of Builders to give back to two organisations that have done so much not only for myself but for people in the industry I love and people battling all types of cancer in the UK.
Any support you can give would be amazing, and both the charities and I would be incredibly grateful.
