Great Tits Together

Together we walk!

I’m walking to support The Royal Marsden, a world-leading cancer centre. By donating to my page, their nurses, doctors, and research teams can provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments, which are used across the UK and around the world. Together, we can transform the lives of cancer patients. Please support me today.

This is a photo of me last year in the Royal Marsden hospital a couple of days after my surgery for breast cancer, a 10 hour  breast reconstruction called a DIEP (using my tummy fat), receiving the amazing care of the team there, and this is still continuing currently. Following 2 lumpectomies (removal of part of the breast) last year, cancerous cells (DCIS) were still present in my breast tissue. I was advised to undergo a single mastectomy, but due to previous breast cancer treatment, with the guidance from my amazing team at the Marsden, I eventually decided to undergo a double mastectomy. I cannot thank the team enough for the  care and attention they have taken with me every step of the way along this unwanted journey. 

I am walking with some of my friends who supported me along the way, and I hope to do some further fundraising this summer for another charity close to my heart, Breast Cancer Now.

This walk is to give something back to the Royal Marsden teams, for the amazing treatment I have received and also, do our little bit to prevent cancer and make treatments kinder.
