I've been lucky. From diagnosis to finishing treatment was exactly 4 months. From a routine mammogram my breast cancer was found early and it was treatable and hopefully curable. The advances in research have meant that my surgery has had minimal physical impact and my radiotherapy was condensed into 5 sessions. But preventing breast cancer has to be the optimal goal. Lucky or not, those 4 months have weighed heavy and any cancer journey is significant. I'm currently off work recovering from the radiotherapy, but the light at the end of the tunnel is starting to come into view.

This fundraiser is a way to motivate me into moving more after the fatigue from treatment as well as raising awareness and funds for future generations. A mile a day might not be much but it's a start!

Every day, 31 families lose someone they love to breast cancer. This March, you can help change that.

Walk 1 mile a day for 31 days and support life‑saving research to protect future generations. Small steps. Big impact.
