Story

Cancer, we're coming to get you!

Hi all Lea & I will be RUNNING the 5k race for life on October 19th . This is a big challenge for me as I have suffered with severe asthma from a young child & then developed a secondary lung disease ,bronchiectasis, from 18years. This means i suffer with recurrent chest infections which make it difficult for me to do daily tasks such as climbing the stairs. However i am determined to complete this & Lea will be by my side.

Another reason i want to complete this is for my mum. When she was 33 she had to have a hysterectomy. She suffered with severe pains & had 3 miscarriages. After having me she was told she would never have anymore children. During her labour with me she was sedated for 3 days & we both almost died. On having the hysterectomy they discovered she had the first signs of cervical cancer. This was too close for us as family & we ask you to please show support for me & for the 9 year old who is there for her mum & for her nan.
