Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm raising money for Cancer Research UK because they saved my life. In 2004 I don't remember Christmas because I was lying unconscious in a hospital bed having my first lot of chemotherapy to fight Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. I was 8. I then went on to have several lots of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and there's never going to be a time when I don't have to visit the doctor regularly. But I'm alive!

I'm only alive thanks to a Cancer Research UK funded trial. I was given back my chance to live by this charity and now I'm better, I want to pay it forward and give someone else their life back.
