Walking for all young mums affected by cancer

I feel so proud to be able to walk my fourth time this year with the Perkins institute! 

In March 2021 I received a shock diagnosis (at 30 years of age) that I had aggressive stage II triple negative breast cancer. I was in shock, how could this be?? I had no family history, was young, fit and had my two year old son to care for. Within a week of my diagnosis I was rushed through the breast cancer centre to start  chemo and without much time to think, my battle against my cancer had begun. Nearly three years on since my diagnosis, the Walk for Women's Cancer gives me that time to reflect and realise that you never really get over a  cancer diagnosis....reminders of the gruelling treatment involved, thoughts of recurrence that often creep into your mind.  However surviving a cancer diagnosis means I appreciate and value my life, time with family and friends in a whole new way. I never forget how fortunate I am to be a cancer survivor, as I know too well that many women diagnosed with cancer are not given that chance.   

Not only does the Walk for Women's Cancer raise awareness on breast and ovarian cancer but ensures ground breaking research continues, to help find cures to these terrible and aggressive cancers. 

Your donations to The Perkins Institute gives hope that other young mothers will be cancer survivors too! 

Thank you for your donation, support and taking the time to read my story


Please help me, help the Perkins.
