Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving Page

I am attempting to walk 375,000 steps throughout the month of June for the 375,000 people diagnosed with cancer every year. The money will be going to UK Cancer Research to help make sure they can continue to raise vital funds to go into more research and trials for those affected directly by cancer, as well as care and support for those who support loved ones battling the disease. 

Cancer is something that has had an unfortunate and profound impact and presence in mine and my family’s lives for as long as I can remember as is the case in so many friends and loved ones families. The loss and suffering of loved ones is something that can never be truly fixed, but it’s possible to make other families’ experiences easier, and more informed, with better support provided. 

I’m not expecting to raise a life-changing amount, but the cliché of ‘every little helps’ is so vital and relevant when it comes to cancer research. During the COVID-19 pandemic, UK cancer research studies fell by 32%, hindering progress against this disease that in 1 in 2 will be affected by in their lifetime. Any donation of any size will be so hugely appreciated, and will really encourage me to keep my little legs moving!
