Story

Hi Everyone

A few weeks ago my Mum was rushed into Walsgrave Hospital with very severe pain that couldn't be controlled. After scans we received the devastating news that the cancer she was treated for 3 years ago had returned and had spread to her bones including her spine. The cancer has caused one of her vertebrae to collapse which explains the terrible pain she was suffering with. She is still in hospital now and still hasn't been able to get out of bed. Yesterday she had spinal surgery which we are praying will give her back the strength it needs, and she will now receive more Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy as she did 3 years ago. Mum is amazing, she is truly the most incredible person I know, I’m sure I wouldn't be able to cope with the things she has had to deal with over the last few years, and she doesn't deserve any of this.

On a positive note we are very very very grateful that she is now being treated by some of the most fantastic people, but they wouldn't be able to do their job without the incredible treatment that is being developed all the time. Mum wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the wonderful research into this devastating disease. It so important that we continue to raise as much money as we can for Cancer Research, so please sponsor me for the Race for Life, even if you can only afford a couple of pounds, it all makes a difference!

Thank you

Lots of Love
