Recently, one of my best friends was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Thankfully, she is receiving the care that she needs and will kick Cancer's arse, but too many people aren't so lucky.

My brilliant dad lost his battle with lung cancer in January 2012 and my lovely uncle Richard before him. Cancer is indiscriminate and changes people's lives and their families forever.
