I am walking 2k a day in November, to help raise money for World Cancer Research Fund!

I signed up for this challenge a while back, because like everyone else I know someone who has been diagnosed with cancer or knows of a loved one that has been lost to this horrible disease. 

It was always my aim to walk more than 2km , as recently I’ve been making an effort to walk 10km a day, to stay fit and healthy.

Little did I know at the time that I too would be diagnosed with breast cancer. 

Whilst my recent diagnosis has been devastating and traumatic to process, I have been equally shocked to learn that every 9 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer . 

A man is also diagnosed every day.

By walking 2km a day in November I will be helping to fund groundbreaking research to revolutionise breast cancer treatment and improve survival rates. 

We also need to find alternatives to chemotherapy , which is such an unkind and gruelling treatment.

I am pledging to walk 2km , less than I would really like to do , but feel this would be more manageable for me , during my treatment.

Please donate, however small, it all helps.

Cancer doesn’t care, so we have to, and we all deserve to live a long and healthy life.

Thank you ☺️ 

Love
