Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Sunday 21st April 2024, I will be running 26.2 miles in the TCS London Marthon, to raise essential funds for Breast Cancer Now

At the end of 2021 both my Mum and friend Cheryl, who has cut my hair for the last 16 years, were diagnosed with Breast Cancer within weeks of each other. 

Mum went to the GP after noticing a difference in her breast.  The GP referred her to a consultant, who after investigation, sadly found cancer in the breast she hadn’t noticed changes in. Because my Mum made the best decision to go and get checked, her cancer was picked up early. Scarily the cancer couldn’t be seen or felt and was only picked up by the Mammogram. 

Cheryl was called back from a routine Mammogram. Again, Cheryl couldn’t see or feel any changes in her breast but unfortunately she was given a cancer diagnosis. Because Cheryl had thankfully gone for her routine mammogram, the cancer was picked up early enough to ensure it could be operated on and treated. 

Mum and Cheryl have both been through tough cancer journeys, which has been extremely scary for them. They are hugely brave and will have to endure the after effects, both physically and mentally, for a long time to come. 

Being able to run for Breast Cancer Now means a huge amount to me, because of these two amazing women. I hope I can raise enough funds to help Breast Cancer Now to continue to provide world-class research and life-changing care for people affected by breast cancer.
