Story

This October, I will be walking 100 miles to raise money for Breast Cancer Now! 🚶

That’s just over 3 miles a day… so what’s the challenge? I’m glad you asked! A woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every 10 minutes in the UK and a few weeks ago, I found myself to be one of those women. No 32-year-old expects to hear “I’m really sorry but you have cancer”, but here we are. So instead of feeling sorry for myself, I want to use this as an opportunity to do something different. So, while I’m starting 6 months of aggressive chemo and kicking cancer’s ass, I do not want your pity or ‘positive vibes’. Instead, can I ask you to help me on my quest to raise as much money for this wonderful charity as possible. If you can donate, the smallest amount would mean a lot to me and will make a big impact. And if money is tight right now, don’t worry, we have all been there. You can still help, it’s not all about the money! I will be sharing info throughout October to raise awareness – you can help by sharing, to reach as many people as possible.

Any little donation or a share helps, thank you for your support 💗
