Story

I'm participating in a 5K muddy obstacle course for Cancer Research UK's Race for Life this year. 

After thinking 2013 was a "bad" year for our family, 2014 proved the toughest yet for all of my family. 
I won't go into too much detail because they aren't my stories to share...but one of my cousin's was hit with cancer, and another cousin's Uncle sadly passed away. Now here's the thing cancer doesn't just effect that one person & their immediate family it effects everyone they have ever touched in their lives. Everyone pulled together and supported one another through the worse moments in our lives. 

My Little Nanna grew her butterfly wings at the end of 2014, after a long battle with cancer. 
"It has been said that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world" (Chaos Theory).  
Nanna our family will always feel the flutter of your wings, wherever you are. 

So we are united as one family, in hope to make a small difference towards beating cancer, please kindly donate to a cause which has truly impacted our family.
