Walking with gratitude 

Sunday 30th Mar
So it's that time of year again...I'm walking with Joely, Caroline and Anna to raise funds for the Royal Marsden where my son Cam was successfully treated nearly eight years ago. They all have their own stories to tell – Anna works at the Royal Marsden (thank you!) – but the thing to keep in mind is that any sponsorship for the Royal Marsden will mean further research and further improvements in treatment that will be shared with other hospitals to give everyone the best chance of a good outcome.

My own story though is this: The fact that my son Cam is here, ignoring the brilliance of my maternal wisdom on all manner of topics is entirely down to the expertise of the Marsden. Every birthday and Christmas and many other days in between I send up a massive thanks to whoever it was on the Marsden team who recognised that the original diagnosis - Hodgkin Lymphoma - was incorrect. He actually had a rare form of lymphoma - Grey Zone, which they don't see very often and required a different treatment. That person - or people - gave Cam back to us. Along with that, they gave us a second chance at life, a new one where I'm so much more grateful for any tiny moment of joy that comes my way.
It's hard to put into words what it feels like to be told your child has cancer so I'm not going to try - it's as awful as you imagine times five hundred, swirls up a ton of guilt, regret and difficult conversations that most of us - including me - hope to sidestep in our lives. However, amongst all that fear and shock, the team at the Marsden made us feel as though we were in the safest possible hands, helping us put one foot in front of the other until good times came again.

I'd love to help other families facing their own bad news - as always, more research is key. So I'd be really grateful if you could sponsor us...anything is so welcome. Thank you.
