I am Claires mum and I would just like to share some good news with you.
Claire as you may know was diagnosed with cervical cancer a year ago, she had just finished treatment and they picked up another cancer in her thyroid. So 6 months ago she had her thyroid out and had radioactive iodine treatment. At 30 not married losing the chance of having kids this was a terrible blow.
Anyway last week she organised a team of 12 and ran the city to surf run in Australia 14km for childrens cancer. She did it in 94 minutes and raised £1500 as well.
So those of you that are starting treatment its nice to know someone who has been at rock bottom and come out the otherside. A year ago she couldn't even stand up straight or walk more than 3 paces.
So Good luck to you all and I hope this has been helpful.
Big hugs
Jane (Claires very proud mum)

Jane, you must be so incredibly proud of Claire, to go through that at so young an age and then to do a 14k run for such a good cause, wow!
And yes it is fantastic for us still on our journeys to hear good news
