Story

As many of you may know my lovely Gran was diagnosed with Breast Cancer on 30th March 2023 💗 

She is currently bravely undergoing chemotherapy and is well on her way to kicking cancers’ ass 💪 

She is one of the strongest women I know and has been like an extra parent to me my full life. Watching her fight this illness has made us all feel a little helpless. Which is why I’ve decided to use my health to help better others lives in a similar situation.

On Sunday 18th June I ran the Women’s Glasgow 10K. This Sunday 1st October I will be running the Glasgow Great Scottish Run Half Marathon raising money for the amazing Beatson charity - where my gran and over 60,000 others are receiving their treatment. 🎀 

The Beatson supports those with cancer and those affected every step of the way. It relies mostly on the generosity of the public in order to continue to deliver crucial treatments and services. 

This date also marks the 46th wedding anniversary for my Gran & Papa making it even more apt for me to do this 💗

Please donate whatever you could afford, whether it be 50p or £50. Any donation goes a long way and is hugely appreciated. We will also be running fundraising events within the Little Cake & Balloon Co store such as charity bakes, raffles and £1 donations from every order from now until the event. 💘
