Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Just to give you a bit of info on why I am doing this:-

My Sister was first diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2011, this was after having problems for years and it being misdiagnosed. By the time Rebecca was diagnosed is was found to be Stage 4b. 

Rebecca was such an amazing person and full of life she kept our family together. She never seemed to worry about her self and just wanted to make sure her kids and us would be ok, if she lost her fight.

Rebecca sadly lost her unwinnable fight with stage 4 cancer on 17th December 2012.

Sadly 7 months after this my Father was taken into hospital, with what they thought was some sort of bug.... within 10 days of this happening he started to have multipul organ failure and passed away within a couple of days. We later found out he had Intravascular Large B-Cell Lymphoma. Martin Passed away 26th July 2013

My father was a good family man and strived to and did do well in business to give us kids everything we needed.

As you can see our family has gone though a lot over the years with this horrible disease.

So please sponsor me what you can to help fight this horrible thing

"Cancer " we will beat it.

I will make sure I make it round for Rebecca and my dad Martin
