Hi all, and thank you for finding my JustGiving donation page.

I’ve signed up for this charity walk - not to prove my fitness.

To show my gratitude.

Gratitude for the doctors and nurses who carried me through the hardest days.

Gratitude for my family and friends who supported me through this difficult time of my life.

Gratitude for the strangers who donated blood, researched treatments, and believed in cures they might never need themselves.

Skin Cancer took a lot from me, but it also gave me perspective.

It taught me that strength doesn’t always look like resilience in the spotlight—it can be quiet persistence in the background.

Step by step, breath by breath, we keep going.

This walk isn’t just for charity.

It is for healing.

For hope.

For life after cancer—and the beautiful, uncertain, grateful journey that follows.
