Story
I've supported this charity for a few years now because I've seen first-hand how far that funding goes... Especially this year.
This summer, I lost my Uncle Ray and my Aunty Cynthia in the space of 5 weeks... I also have a friend currently in treatment. It's been a brutal few months, to be quite honest and those around me know this.
1 in 2 people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Scary number... However, when cancer is caught early, survival rates are dramatically higher. This accounts for either side of the age spectrum.
If something doesn't feel right with your body, please get it checked. Don't sit on it. Don't assume it's nothing. A five-minute GP appointment can change everything. Especially us in our 30s where the risks start to grow.
The Royal Marsden treats more cancer patients than any other hospital in the UK, and the charity exists to fund the things the NHS budget can't stretch to: state-of-the-art equipment, groundbreaking research, and the best possible environments for patients and the staff who care for them.
To the fun stuff...
And if you're able to sponsor me for the 11th October, every pound goes toward research, equipment, and care that make moments like early diagnosis possible. No donation is too small, and I appreciate every penny.
Thank you for reading this far, and for any support you can give.
Love Cam <3
