OMG!!! After 5 years + of applying I finally have my chance to run THE LONDON MARATHON 2023.... Never ever did I think I would be so lucky to have the opportunity to do this amazing event... If your a runner... You know!! 

So I thought for an extra bit of motivation to get me through the long training plan and event ahead I would pick a charity to support... I have chosen this one as in 2007 I had several rounds of chemo to cure my cancer (Trophoblastic disease) chemotherapy as many of you know takes over your life and is so hard to go through, luckily worked a treat for me but the side effects were horrendous. 

This charity research into other ways to cure this type of cancer without the toxic effects of chemo so any penny's you can spare to support this would be greatly appreciated. 

Wish me luck for my training... I'll need it!!!

Let's go.... 

Love

This trial will offer women immunotherapy treatment instead of multi-agent chemotherapy to try and cure their disease. The trial will combine Pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, with one of the single chemotherapy drugs normally used to treat this cancer. It is already used to treat other cancers such as melanoma and kidney cancer.Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer. It helps your immune system to recognise and fight cancer cells. It can educate the immune system to recognize and attack specific cancer cells and boost immune cells to help them eliminate cancer.It is much less toxic than giving multi-drug chemotherapy. We expect this trial will save more women from the toxic effects of multi-drug chemotherapy.We need your help to fund this trial to enable women to be cured of GTD without having to endure the toxic effects of multi-drug chemotherapy.
