Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
When I was 8, my mum had breast cancer. I didn't fully understand what was going on to be honest, I just remember lots of neighbour-made lasagna, different people driving me to school and, feeling a bit weird to see her with less hair. The reality is, my dad and older sisters were stressed, concerned and, managing a nightmare behind the scenes so I wouldn't be scared of what was happening. Post-treatment, after chemo, after radiotherapy, cancer-free!, time to celebrate life and a new phase of joy, unfortunately, the realistic next 10 years of a cancer patients life is full catch up treatments, worry of it coming back, medication, side-effects and adjustment from the past year or years of your life that you have just missed due to cancer.
Cancer runs through my family and our history, but the work that Cancer Research and other cancer charities across the world do to contribute to this cause is vital for helping the current and future patients of this disease.
I am running the Brighton Marathon 2027 for WWF, but I want to use this opportunity to support other important causes as well, they can be found on my Linktree on my Instagram page. This is an opportunity to support my mum, and others who have been subjected to this horrible disease.
