Story

September 2018 my world got flipped upside down when we discovered I had Ovarian Cancer. It is something that has changed my life but not just mine those around me have also felt the devastating effect cancer can have. 

However i am determined this will not stop me in my tracks and after some overwhelming fundraising by others for myself and my family i decided it was time to give back and help others. 

This is going to be the most physically challenging experience for us especially as my “battle” with cancer is still ongoing but we are determined to raise as much as we can to help fund vital research into finding that cure for this awful disease not just for me but for my children and my children’s children and your children’s children. We need something and we need it soon. 

Joining me on my trek is my oldest friend Gemma Smith. I’m so glad I get to share this experience with one of my best friends who has been a tower of strength for me and my family from the beginning of this rollercoaster. 

Please share our page with friends and family and help us kick cancer’s arse!
