After being diagnosed with testicular cancer at the age of 21, I was in complete shock. I thought cancer was an older persons disease. I was completely shocked to find that I was wrong and actually I was very much in the high risk age category. I’d found the lump by pure luck, I hadn’t been checking as I was completely unaware I was at at risk. Luckily I did go straight to the doctors and caught it early. Since having my 5 years all clear I’ve been wanting to do something to help. So here I am supporting the Robin Cancer Trust in their campaign to raise awareness by trying to raise some money.
On the 14th July 2018, myself and some friends will be aiming to complete the British 3 Peaks Challenge. This involves climbing up and back down Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in 24 hours. The challenge also requires that travel between the mountains should be factored into this time. It’s going to be tough, but well worth it for the cause. Please give what you can, however small or large. Anything can make a huge difference and help towards raising awareness and saving lives of those who might not suspect they are at risk.
Thank you for supporting!
