Story

We are walking 100 miles in 30 days for the bone and soft tissue cancer charity Sarcoma UK.

We’ve been friends for 30 years and they have been by my side always and specifically through my cancer journey.

We are doing this as a team to raise awareness, money and to continue walking side by side, holding hands and being each others motivation.

My back story …

I have Leiomyosarcoma. Back in 2016 it started as a soft tissue sarcoma wrapped around a kidney and now is in my bones too. I know - how lucky am I!?!? As it has metastasised to my liver and lungs there is no longer a cure for me. I am undergoing palliative chemo treatment every 3 weeks and this is on going - no end date. As long as the chemo stops the tumours from growing - I’m winning.

This year (alongside the fundraising), could you give up an hour or so of your time to walk with any of us - or - join the group and do the whole 100 miles?

If I can do this alongside my 2 rounds of chemo within the 30 days - just think about what you could do ….
