Hello,

Firstly thanks for taking the time to look at our page.

We are taking part in the tough mudder Yorkshire on July 30th 2017 and are hoping to raise as much money as possible for the Yorkshire cancer centre which is supporting our friend Liz who was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer with liver metastasis which is incurable. She has recently appeared on look north and capital and heart radio stations trying to raise awareness of cervical cancer to hopefully prevent anyone else suffering from such a horrible disease.

We are a group 19 ordinary people wanting to do our bit and raise money for a fantastic charity, So please dig deep and donate to help us smash through our target.

Here is a list of the mudscoffers taking up the challenge of the tough mudder on the 30th July.

Fiona Green, Philippa Kelly-Bull, Nikki Friend, Sarah Barton, Phil Williams, Andy Boomer, James Oliver, Paul England, Chris Green, Nick Gore, Lucas Justo, Adam Barton, Adam Wheeldon, Marcus Schofield, Craig Phelan, Chris Kirk, Nick Shires, Ian Brading and Scott Smith

Please read below to see for yourself what Liz has been through so far.

This her story in her words

On 1st December 2016, i was diagnosed with stage IV cervical cancer with liver and lymph node metastasis, which is incurable.  I had palliative radiotherapy in December and started the first round of chemotherapy on the 21st December. Following several reactions to one of the drugs, I could no longer have this, but the one I continued to have 6 sessions of worked in the best way shrinking all areas of the cancer.

However, In may 2017 I suffered two seizures, Being told this has since spread to my brain was heartbreaking. I was given gamma knife treatment immediately and on the 21st June I start a new course of chemotherapy.

I have thrown myself into raising awareness of cervical cancer and raising as much money as i can to have something to focus on, keep my mind active and obviously to hopefully prevent someone from going through the same hell as myself in the future.

I am raising money for Yorkshire Cancer Centre Appeal, which is supported at St James hospital, Bexley Wing where I am being treated. Here all the staff have so far been amazing on my heartbreaking journey.

Since diagnosis I have done interviews for BBC Look North as well as various local radio stations. My main focus was to host a fundraising event on 4th February (World Cancer Day).

I have done this, with great success, with help from family, friends, local and national companies as well as strangers. I have so far raised a spectacular amount but my aim is to keep on going. Not only is this a great cause, the YCC offer me huge support along this journey, as well as supporting my family and close friends. The focus I have on these fundraising events is also keeping my spirits high and giving me focus on life beyond cancer.

I am inspired to repeat similar events to continue to raise money and awareness for such a great charity whilst I am still able to do so.

My next event is taking place on Saturday 2nd September 2017, at the Crooked Billet in Saxton.

Yorkshire Evening Post are interested in featuring #lizfest in their publication.

Along this journey I have already sacrificed many things I never thought I'd be without at my age, and any help and support to raise money for the charity that is supporting me would be great. Ultimately awareness to such a horrible disease is my main aim.

Any donation however large or small would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to everyone for their continued support.
