My Journey & Why I’m helping this great cause 🥰🙏

Wednesday 8th Jan
As many people may  already know I’ve battled cancer a fair bit in my life & I’m so lucky to have survived each one and still be here to tell the tale 🥰🙏 for this I’m very grateful as I lost my mum to cancer a few years back. 
My first battle was at the age of 10 when I had a Wilms Tumour, this ended up bursting during surgery to remove my kidney which resulted in the cancer spreading all over my abdominal area
Leading to lots of chemo & radio therapy & more.. … 
battle 2 was approx 10 years later with cervical cancer, battle 3 another 10 years later with bowel cancer then my last battle was approx 10 years ago with breast cancer which for me was the worst & hardest  fight.  👊👊👊👊
Unfortunately it had spread through my lymph glands and I needed to have a full mastectomy & removal of my lymph glands, due to my previous cancers my chemo was complicated and I couldn’t have what I needed, infact I was told they couldn’t offer me any more help at all and it was a matter of time .. …. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🙏
after lots of research & a referral to the Royal Marsden I was offered a different option, a much longer option and I’m still here to tell my story 🥰🙏
This 15 mile walk is on the 11th of May which is also my birthday and this is what I’d like to do to celebrate. 🎂
Instead of any gifts I’d be so grateful if you could donate an amount (any amount)  to my fundraising pot to help this wonderful cause & i am doing it with my husband Mark in memory of my amazing Mum 🥰 
Thankyou for reading & thankyou in advance for any amount you are able to donate 🙏🙏🙏🙏
