In short, last year aged 31, I was diagnosed with breast cancer (adenosquamous cell carcinoma). I had 2 surgeries and an intense course of radiotherapy treatment. My life got flipped on its head and realised that life is far too short. So, I have decided to challenge myself with some charity fundraiser adventures. Forcing myself out of my comfort zone, to live life bigger and give back to a couple of charities that helped me throughout my diagnosis. I also managed to rope my friends and family into them (not that it took much persuading).
Fundraising page1- The Boudicca Breast Cancer Appeal helps provide further updates to the whole breast unit at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) with additional counselling rooms, new and improved equipment as it is required, additional training for staff and support for patients. Basically trying to better the experience for patients with fewer days of anxiety. 2- Little Lifts provides the most thoughtfully handpicked gifts to support people with breast cancer.
The National Three Peaks Challenge takes in the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales, often in 24 hours.
