My story starts at the age of 39 when I was diagnosed with bowel cancer after having an emergency appendectomy they found part of a carcinoid tumour attached to what they had taken away. I was taken into hospital to have a right hemi colectomy which involved  having surgery to remove part of my colon. Four years ago I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and had a total hysterectomy. I feel blessed to still be here and next year will be my 10th year in remission from bowel cancer, so running in the marathon will mean so much more also I will be thinking of my Nan who passed away from bowel cancer and to do it for this amazing charity will be fantastic. I really would appreciate any donation that you could give to this worthy cause.
