In June 2024, I was diagnosed with a rare pancreatic tumour. I underwent major surgery in September 2024, which involved removing half of my pancreas, my spleen, and the tumour itself. I’m incredibly grateful for Dr Simon Atkinson at Cleveland Clinic & King’s College Hospital, and Nataleen Grant, for their care and ongoing support.

In the UK, around six young adults are diagnosed with cancer every day. To raise awareness, Katie, Elliott and I will be taking part in the 25km London Summer Charity Walk on the 23rd August 2025.

We’re fundraising for Young Lives vs Cancer, a charity that has provided incredible support throughout my journey. Every donation - no matter the size - will help young people and their families battling cancer. To find out more visit: www.younglivesvscancer.org.uk.

Thank you so much for your support.

Love Helen, Katie and Elliott💜
