Story
In 2018, my cancer unfortunately reoccurred. And now having gone through 2 massive operations, the normal chemotherapy, and radiotherapy , it has left me with massive disabilities including making it extremely difficult to walk. It is a miracle I can walk at all, but I can, even if it’s slower than a snail, ! Ive started a new type of treatment called immunotherapy at the Royal Marsden, which is scheduled every 3 weeks for a further 2 years, hopeful to rid this dreadful disease.
My aim is to walk 1 mile a day which is incredibly challenging for me, and will take over an hour to complete.
I’m forever grateful for the hope, help, support and motivation I’ve had from everyone along the way including the team at Albion in the Community, who contacted me when I was feeling particularly low.
Every year Albion in the Community support an average of 400 individuals with a disability to be active. Through their disability specific football teams or their fully inclusive football sessions, Albion in the Community helps to enable individuals to get active and stay active.It has never has it been more important to be active and to support more vulnerable people to be healthy - that is why I am taking part in Move it May.I am committing to moving every day in the month by doing 1 mile each day to raise money to support Albion in the Community to be there for those who most need their support.It costs just £50 to cover the cost of a football session for young people with a disability so every donation will make a huge difference.Thank you for supporting me.
