I’m taking on 5k a Day in June for Young Lives vs Cancer.

I’ll be completing 5k every day from 1st to 30th June to help raise vital funds for children and young people with cancer.

Young Lives vs Cancer help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. Make a donation and show your support today.

Just a £26 donation could fund an hour of support from a Young Lives vs Cancer specialist social worker, ensuring children, young people and families always have someone by their side throughout their cancer journey.

Thank you for your support.

Izzie made it to Wembley! Wouldn’t have been possible without the help of her Young lives vs cancer worker. We are so grateful x

Tough week

Sunday 21st Jun
The last week has been hard! I’ve drove Izzie to Wembley and back twiceto see Harry styles just her a myself and god it was hard. The drive itself, fitting a wheelchair, walking frame all her meds etc in the car was a task. The services was hard. Navigating Wembley in a wheelchair was hard. London was hard haha but we did it and I’d do it over and over to make her happy. She cried I cried. She didn’t think we’d ever make it there. But I kept up my 5k a day until Friday where I unfortunately just couldn’t do it. Izzies also had surgery this week and been poorly so so poorly after it and Friday she just needed me and we didn’t get back from hospital until late. I was beating myself up about it but there also plenty of days I have done more of than 5k but try telling my brain that! 

Time

Wednesday 3rd Jun
Today life has been lifing! I’ve been in work. Still had nursery run to do, taking care of Izzie. Being home at certain times to do her meds etc but I still got it done. All be it no extra today and a little slower but I did it. I said I’d make the time each day and I will even when I running off 3 hours sleep.

Day One Lets Go!

Day one

Monday 1st Jun
About to do my day one of 5k a day in June. Managed to get some miles in over the last two weeks so I’m determined even with hospital etc I will get this done everyday! 

Thank you 🩷

Friday 1st May
I literally only put this on 12 hours ago and the response has been amazing. I’m overwhelmed and emotional. Thank you all so much! Izzie took a turn for the worse in the night and we’re back in hospital with an infection and waiting on some more test results. Honestly can’t praise all the hospital staff enough 🩷
