Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page.

This will be my 5th race for life - and my daughter Olivia's 2nd.

- being a cancer survivor myself, I realise the importance of fund
raising for vital research to find a cure for this deadly disease, so please
give whatever you can, it all helps. Thank you. xx


My Story......I was diagnosed with breast cancer in
September 2014 - I found a lump whilst I was still breast feeding my daughter Olivia and with my family history of cancer I knew it was best not to delay, so went straight off to my doctor who referred me to the cancer clinic in Portsmouth.
After several biopsies and other tests and scans I was diagnosed with an Invasive ductile carcinoma - after a lumpectomy,  5 months of chemotherapy and then radiotherapy, I finally finished my treatment in June 2015. 

I have been on Tamoxifen for the last 5 years it's an anti cancer
drug which strips oestrogen from my body - thereby stopping another oestrogen receptor positive cancer returning and has launched me into an early menopause. 

I was so thankful to have survived cancer and the treatment that I
decided to completely change my lifestyle, eat healthily and get fit - I
started exercising with a personal trainer in August 2015 and I joined Slimming World in September (1 year after my cancer diagnosis) and despite being told I would struggle to lose weight I had lost 3.5 stone by April 2016. 

Fundraising I've done:

July 2016 Races for Life 10k & 5K raising £900 for CRUK

October 2016 Great South Run (10 Miles) raising £450 for MND 

July 2017 Race for life 10K beating my PB raising £345.00 for CRUK.

Since being a cancer survivor I have found a new passion in running and hope to be able use it to raise lots of money each year for CRUK and other charities, I would be so grateful for your help. xx
