Finally....the time has come to raise some money ; )
I am delighted to be able to do this 15 mile walk to raise vital funds for The Royal Marsden*. And I am even more delighted to be able to do this with lots of friends who have joined my team! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining me and Rob on this mission!
I wasn't expecting to go through Cancer at such a young age. It really did knock us sideways when we were told the news in December 2022. The Marsden were and continue to be amazing at what they do. The staff on the chemo ward were utterly brilliant and I honestly couldn't have made it through the gruelling 3 months of weekly treatment without their support not to mention humour! I am still going through treatment but was given the all clear a few weeks ago following my final preventative operation.
I have lost many friends and family to Cancer and they will be in my thoughts on the 12th May. This is for them as well.
Thank you so much for making a donation - it really will make a difference.
Love Melissa x
