Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My sister has been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer. I'm feeling pretty useless about this and very sad, she is just 33 so I feel this is a slightly cruel thing to have, as she has already gone through breast cancer at 29.  Her Name is Marie Santini and she is the TOUGHEST, BRAVEST, LOVELIEST SISTER, WIFE, FRIEND AND MOTHER to 3 beautiful children.  I have been inspired by reading lots about people with cancer, one in particular is a girl from Portishead call Heidi (Facebook page STORM IN A TIT CUP) visit the page and give her a like.  It is Heidi who gave me the details for this charity.  I have been thinking about running the Bristol 10K for a while HOWEVER the fact that I am not a runner was a bit of a challenge.  Thanks to my darling friend Lindsay Fussell and the best coach Emma who are both helping me to achieve this.  The lovely Lindsay will also be running with me for which I am extremely thankful. 

The blood sweat and tears involved in the training for this and the actual race itself is nothing compared to what a cancer patient may go through, but it is my way of shouting from the roof tops YOU ARE NOT ALONE EVER, Marie Santini remember this and be on the finish line with a cream cake for me as I'm going to need it :)  Only doing for you what you would do for me xxxxxxxxx

We put Secondary Breast Cancer first. Because there is no cure yet. This disease spreads to the rest of the body and affects women and men. So finding a cure means a diagnosis is no longer an ultimatum. People will have more days doing what matters most, living the life they love.
