Story

Cancer has touched many people, family, friends and loved ones too. Every time we ask the question WHY!!!

Some of us has been fortunate and overcome, winning the battle for life some not so...Personally my life has seen both myself and dad has been fortunate in this battle. Seeing my dad going thru treatment brought back a lot of horrible memories, it has been likened to going to hell and they are not far wrong....Having close friends, loved one to support you goes a long way. I never allowed anyone to know what i was going thru... MISTAKE? maybe but i didn't want any sorrow nor pity...lying through my teeth to everyone. NOT GOOD..Sad but that was my choice.

Looking in my sons eyes and him knowing something serious was up and my daughter on my case to sort made me realise i had to fight and do it for them...Giving me the inspiration and strength needed..

I AM NOW TELLING ALL BECAUSE as a celebration of life am doing a sponsored walk to Brighton starting Saturday...CELEBRATION or PUNISHMENT don't know but reasons don't matter, its the cause and giving something back to cancer research. I know its late but this has taken a lot for me to write this.

Like i said i never told my friends but i am now... Asking for support for this charity which has personal reasons behind me doing

the walk, all 110 miles in a week... every little helps...

 

Thank you...please donate
