Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

In May 2026, a group of us will be tackling the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for Ocular Melanoma UK, a charity that’s been an incredible source of support for me and many others living with this rare cancer.

I was diagnosed in 2023, when my children were just 1 and 7. I had brachytherapy in April 2023, which thankfully stopped the tumour’s growth. What I didn’t realise then was that the journey doesn’t end with treatment, I now have liver scans every six months, as ocular melanoma has a tendency to metastasise to the liver in around 50% of cases.

Ocular Melanoma UK has been a huge support, offering advice, community, and hope through such an uncertain time. Because it’s so rare, affecting only about 6 people in a million, most GPs have never even heard of it.

We’re raising funds to help Ocular Melanoma UK continue their amazing work supporting families and raising much-needed awareness. Any support - big or small --means the world. 💛
