Since being diagnosed with breast cancer, I cannot even begin to describe the support and care I have received from the hospital and the charities like cancer research. It makes me and my family want to give back.

You always think you won’t be “that family,” yet sitting here, writing this, with my bald head and everyone rallying round supporting me, we now are. We’ve had to get used to the fact people no longer cheerfully say “alright?” But instead now empathetically say “are you ok?” And I can truthfully tell them, “I will be” thanks to the support and love around me as well as the amazing work of charities like cancer research.

I am eternally grateful to live in an age where this doesn’t have to be a death sentence anymore, but the fact so many people are still so deeply affected by this, means there is still so much work to be done.

So please sponsor my amazing family who want to do this to give something back to all those amazing people who have helped develop treatments that will hopefully mean one day I can run with them in the future!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Brooke, Katie and Amelia will also be running the race for life in Bath on 7th July!
