I’m taking part in The JLF Trek to raise awareness for the early detection and prevention of bowel cancer.
Turning 50 in n 2007 was a significant turning point
in my life. My mother Shirley had battled bowel cancer for several years, and
with other family members affected by the disease, she pestered me to have a
check up.
Her intuition proved correct with a colonoscopy detecting a
tumour.
I had surgery to remove the tumour in May 2007 followed by
six months of chemotherapy.
My mother passed away on the morning of my 11th treatment,
leaving me with so much to thank her for.
Early detection proved to be a godsend.
Sharing my story, doing voluntary work for The Jodi Lee
Foundation and getting involved in The JLF Treks is my way of saying thank you
to my mother for saving my life. I’m also taking part in this event as a
regular participant as it is fun and the exercise especially in the lead up is
good for you. I also enjoy the After Parties!
I would love your support to reach my fundraising goal; any amount you can give is greatly appreciated.
Thank you to my Sponsors
