In May 2008 my mum was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. She had a major operation in the June 2008 to remove it. Following the operation she was very ill and had to undergo chemotherapy. If anyone knows someone who has had to have this treatment they know how painful and tiring it can be. During all her treatment she never complained once. She was a very strong woman who put her own illness aside to make everyone around her happy.

Unfortunately in May 2009 she lost the fight just 12 days after her 53rd birthday.

So many people are affected by cancer at some point in there life. Unlucky for me I lost both my Granda and my mum. I'm doing this run for such a good cause and I would appreciate any donations you can give however big or small.
