Journalists and editors from Metro will be taking part in Cancer Research's Race for Life ❤️ 'Thanks to medical advances funded by money raised by events just like Race For Life, more cancers than ever are treatable and have positive outcomes'.
'So why now? Race for Life is close to my heart. In early 2011, my mum, Sharon, was diagnosed with cancer. I was a young journalist plying my trade at a local newspaper in Somerset, miles away from my family and friends back home in Southampton.
'This brings me back to Race for Life. One of my most cherished memories is her taking part in the event on Southampton Common with her sisters Ann and Carol, and her niece, my cousin Holly, a few months before she passed away. 'Back then, camera phones weren’t as good as they are now and for some reason we just didn’t take that many photos. Perhaps we thought we’d still have time to take more but time flies. It’s one of my biggest regrets, but that photo will be with me forever.'I admit I’ve struggled since mum died. I’ve bottled a lot away and I’ve been to therapy to help.
'Last time I ran the Race For Life, my mum had just recovered from breast cancer that required a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. 'The operation to remove a piece of bowel came just weeks later before the cancer had a chance to spread and she was declared cancer free that same month, just before Christmas.
