Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Diagnosed on Summer Solstice 2024 and started treatment 10 July. To think this time 6 months ago I was skipping every day to raise funds for CRUK and now I’ll hopefully be benefiting from research and the best drugs out there! Though there’s no current cure, I’m positive about treatment and living long remissions between cancer activity throughout the rest of my life. Help me stay inspired by donating, if you can. My last big fundraiser for Pancreatic Cancer raised nearly £9k, so that would be a great one to beat!

I’m concentrating on a change of lifestyle - reducing workload & stress, avoiding crowds, improving diet & exercise habits & implementing rest and generally taking it easy which goes against every grain of my being! I'm being looked after so well by Alex, the kids, my lovely mum and so many friends and family, so it really could be a lot worse.

This week Will has blown us all away by shaving his head, after learning I will lose my hair - he didn't warn us, just came downstairs like it! See update below for pics.

Thanks for your support xx
