Story
*New target set at £2000*
Hey,
thank you for visiting my page. Each year I try to raise as much money as possible to battle Cancer.
Cancer has had a very big impact on my life. 2 years on April my mother lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting. Shortly after her passing my Step father Graham quickly became ill with a rare terminal brain cancer and lost his battle. Losing both of of my parents has been a difficult experience for myself and family members but cancer has not stopped and still continues to affect the lives of people around me.
I am not only doing this for mum but for those that have lost their battle, those that have won their battle and those who are are still fighting their battle.
1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with some form of cancer during their lifetime
So what am I doing?
Last year with the support of friends and family I was able to raise over £1000 for Cancer Relief by completing the ‘Rock Challenge’.
I am teaming up with the Gibraltar Society Cancer Relief as I would like to help raise money.
This year I will be attempting to complete 6 events:
