Story

 

Help more people beat cancer

This July I will be entering the Race for Life in Street. This is a really big challenge for me. As many of you know, I am not the athletic type and would much prefer to be on the sponsoring end of this race. 

This year Caroline, a friend of mine asked me if I would take up the challenge and raise money for Cancer Research. At first I was doubtful, as I have never run anything in my life, let alone a race. I wasn't even sure I could make it to the end of the road. Caroline suggested I should race for Suzie and help her fight for life. That was all the convincing I needed.

My good friend Suzie has been battling with Hodgkins Lymphoma for 4 years now. She is only 27, with 3 young boys, she is a fantastic mother and a caring friend. Her fight for life is a constant battle of Chemo, drugs and scans. She is a brave, strong, determined woman. 85% of people with hodgkins lymphoma live. Suzie has been unlucky and is still fighting her cancer. We are all hopeful that this course of Chemo, drugs and the stem cell transplants will cure Suzie once and for all. To rid her body of cancer, so she may live to enjoy her life and see her boys grow to men.

My biggest wish is for Cancer Research to find a wonder drug that will cure hodgkins lymphoma 100%.  Please help me to achieve this and donate now!
