Story
I am doing the 15km tough mudder on the 31st July to raise as much money as possible for this cause so we can find a cure quicker!
Cancer has effected family members and friends more than I care to remember if i'm honest! My mum had Breast cancer and beat it thank god, my best friend had skin cancer and beat it also! My Nana is currently fighting bowel cancer.
I have lost my Dad to bowel & stomach cancer, I have lost my Nana to lung cancer and my cousin to a brain tumour.
I want to do this challenge to raise as much money as possible to help find a cure sooner so more can kick its arse and live to tell the tail.
The reason this will be the toughest challenge of my life is that i have very recently been diagnosed with one functioning lung (my left lung) it is something i have apparently had since birth but has only been picked up due to me becoming less able to do some day to day tasks as this has combined with my asthma to make them more difficult.
I want to prove to everyone that we all have a hidden strength inside us to keep going!
I WILL RUN THIS FULL CHALLENGE WITH ALL OF THE ABOVE PEOPLE'S STRENGTH AND COURAGE ON MY MIND THE WHOLE TIME!
