In August 1994 my mum, Rebecca, was diagnosed with skin cancer (a malignant melanoma). The cancer was a relatively rare and aggressive strain and despite treatment, just 16 weeks later she died aged 27.

 

I was only 2 when my mum died, so it wasnt until years later that i started to fully understand what had happened and the effect it had on my family. 

 

To mark the 20th anniversary of her death and to ensure that it was not in vain, myself and my Uncle Mark, are hoping to raise money in her memory to support those with and to help find a cure for cancer.
