"You've got cancer" 3 words you never dreamt of being told! Well for me that nightmare came true as in Sept 2001 i was diagnosed with Renal Cancer. After suffering many years of being ill and being passed from doctor to doctor i was finally told the devastating news which would turn my world and my families upside down for many months.
Once the news had sunk in (which i don't think it actually does), it was then time for me to figure out how i was going to fight this terrible disease. After 2 major ops and alot of tears and frustration and hundreds of hospital appointments and scans i am still here!
You never hear the positive stories of Cancer, you always hear the negatives ones and i think that as a person who fought Cancer it is very important that we keep highlighting the many survivors to inspire those who are coming through this terrible disease on a daily basis and most importantly to raise awareness and much needed funds for Cancer Research
Events like Race for Life are an important way in which Cancer Research UK is able to fund its life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. By sponsoring me now you could help more people survive cancer.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me - Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, at least an extra 25% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you when you tick the Gift Aid box.
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support - together we will beat cancer.
