The Race for Life

On Saturday 25th of June at Temple Newsam, Leeds, Maria and I will be taking part in the 5k Race for Life.
In 2009 my mum went for a routine breast screen where they discovered a lump. After a biopsy it was confirmed that my mum had breast cancer. If it wasn’t for the screening they probably wouldn’t have discovered it until it was much more advanced. Luckily they were able to remove it and after a course of radio therapy she was given the all clear. That was 18 months ago now and thankfully mum is fine, much to our relief.
There was nothing I could do to help my mum but this is the least I can do as a sort of thank you to all involved in the care of cancer patients and Cancer Research.
Just showing us some support would be fantastic. So some words of encouragement in the comment box would be great and it you would like to sponsor me just click Sponsor Melissa
