Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I was originally signed up to Cycle Thailand in 2020, then we all know what happened!! So with one swap and then another I am now am taking part in The Inca Trail trek in May 2022 which is still raising funds for Ovarian Cancer Action, Breast Cancer Care and Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust.

I was inspired to undertake a challenge through seeing an advert in a magazine in January 2019.  It struck a chord with me as my Mum, the heart of our family, had been living with ovarian cancer since Summer 2009.  She was diagnosed the year she retired from nursing and having had a prognosis of 5 years, beat that and we had 10 fabulous years together. That's me, my lovely Mum and my daughter in the pic.

We are hugely grateful to the team that looked after her for all those  years.  I know that constant research and funding into cancer treatments helps make it more bearable for those undergoing treatment and new drugs are being developed all the time.  We were very lucky that she had the benefit of new drugs to treat her that have been developed since 2009.  If funding isn't available new treatments can't help prolong the lives of those with cancer and it shortens the time we have together as families.  

I have never undertaken such a great personal challenge but I am excited to have my side kick sister in law Becs with me and we’ll do it together.  Please spread the word amongst your friends and family and if they would like to donate send them over here! Every donation is very much appreciated.

You're amazing - thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.....imagine: emoji smiley face, high five, thumbs up and a big ol' kiss ;)
