<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>Being part of the London Moonwalk has been on my wish list for a number of years! A breast cancer diagnosis in July 2011 has given me the drive to ensure that this year I will be part of it. Having completed surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, I am now in training!</p>
<p>On learning that I would undergo chemotherapy, my sister shared this quote from Maya Angelou with me:<strong>"The question is not how to survive, but how to thrive with passion, compassion, humour and style."</strong> Every step I take in this marathon will be a demonstration of my intention to thrive through the rest of life!</p>
<p>I shall complete the 26 miles for 4 reasons:</p>
<p>1. For my fantastic sons.</p>
<p>2. To thank my wonderful family and friends for surrounding me with their love, care and support throughout this journey</p>
<p>3. To thank all the women who have gone before me, without whom my treatment would undoubtedly have been much harder to bear, and to raise vital funds for further research.</p>
<p>4. To celebrate being alive and my intention to thrive.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
