Cancer the first time around is scary, cancer coming back after 9 years is soul destroying, there are no words. The fact my kids have to see me go through this again breaks my heart. First time at 12 & 9 and now at nearly 21 & 18. My family & friends mean everything to me.

As you all know The Osborne Trust supported my kids first time round and have gone on to support over 3,200 kids across the UK & NI. There is no one like them where the focus is solely on the kids when a parent gets diagnosed, is living with incurable cancer or who die from this cruel disease.

As you know I have fundraised for the Trust often, I have climbed Snowden after my last chemo the first time around, got local businesses where I Iive onboard with collection boxes and holding events such as wine tasting nights, dressed as a dinosaur and walked pier to pier, danced on tables at boogie bingo nights and ate insects at our I'm a Celeb Challenge night.

This year I was due to hold a big event. Sadly, due to my secondary diagnosis this has been cancelled. So instead I am asking for sponsors during my chemotherapy & radiotherapy treatment, a get Julie through her treatment fundraiser to give me something other than cancer to focus on. I started my treatment on 2nd Aug and was hospitalised with an infection 3 days later. Round 2 is on the 22nd, but not before I have a bone scan.

If everyone I know donated £2 to the Trust, think about how many more children we can support who see a parent go through this. Emma has already told me that she's never seen anything like it these past 6 weeks in the whole 9 years of the Trust. I know we are all feeling the pinch at the moment, but £2 really can do so much.

As the Trust always says- We can't do US without YOU.
