Story

Hi there, 

This time last year I was getting in the last bit of training for the London Marathon. Four months later in August 2015 I was totally taken by surprise to be diagnosed with breast cancer (the same disease that sadly my mother died from at the age of 37)

In October I underwent major surgery as result of my diagnosis and recommendation due to a strong family history.

After my diagnosis I decided to set my self a goal to train towards as part of my recovery and felt that maybe in 6 months post op I would be able to tackle The Yorkshire Three Peaks race 24 miles.

I am raising money for Rossendale Hospice as a way of saying  thank you for the support, care and friendship they have offered over the last few months. The majority of their funding comes from donations. I have seen first hand the way in which this service is valued by so many people.

Please would you join me in supporting such a worthy cause.

Many thanks,

Vikki x
