Walk 50K in September

Three years ago today I was recovering from a mastectomy and about to embark upon 6 rounds of chemo. A generally dark time but not without some glimmers of hope, and some incredible kindness, support and generosity. At one of my darkest moments I was totally blown away by the response to my ‘do it in December’ daily exercise challenge; we raised over £3kand bucket loads of positive energy - it helped me so much. 

 

There is no guarantee my cancer won’t come back; that’s something everyone who has had cancer learns to live with. It’s a new reality which is made easier knowing that really clever, passionate, determined people are working relentlessly to develop new treatments and technologies to battle cancer ready for that day, if it happens. 

 

The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity raises money to fund clinical research and trials which could help any of us one day. For me, the Royal Marsden was involved in the training of my oncologists and surgeons, the development of my chemo cocktails, the technology in my radiotherapy machines, the trials of my targeted therapy on my type of cancer. The list goes on! 

 

So partly as a ‘thank you’ for what they have already done and also as a ‘thanks in advance’ for the work they do now to help people in the future, which might include me, I’m going to do a little throwback to 2023, exercising every day this September as part of RMCC Walk50 challenge.  

 

I would be eternally grateful for your generosity if you could sponsor me.  Lots of sweaty faced update posts incoming.

 

Look out Cancer, we are coming for you.
