I am a 32 year-old woman, married and a mother of a beautiful daughter, Lillie. On the 22nd of September 2014, my life changed when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Although from this point it felt as though we were in the middle of a strange and surreal dream, once I had absorbed the news I knew I was going to take control of this before it took control of me. I was determined to approach the future in a robust and positive way. This is why I made the decision whilst going through chemo to take the challenge of running the metric marathon just 6 months after finishing my treatment and 5 months after a double mastectomy covering a distance of 16.2 miles - the furthest I have ever run and then just 2 weeks later running hell runner -trail run - 13 miles which I ran last year just three weeks after my diagnosis. The reason I want to support and raise money for Macmillan is to say thank you for all their continuous support throughout my journey.
