Cancer never goes away from you. As I sit here thinking about what her life might have been like, I think how fortunate I am to be given another chance with mine. This is partly why I want to make a difference. Cancer has weakened me in many ways physically and mentally, but it has given me and new strength and direction in life. I wear my scars proudly, a battle won. I hope like Margaret was inspirational for me, I can inspire someone else in their dark places that cancer takes them.
My challenges to celebrate my 2 major landmarks are almost at the end. This week I visited our local cubs and scouts to talk to them a little bit about my cancer and the charity that has helped me throughout. They will be embarking on their sponsored swim in little over a week's time, hopefully generating a little more money for the charity, but also gaining a better understanding about how a local charity works near them.
The support I've had as be amazing throughout the last few months. It really will have made a difference to people's lives with cancer.
Margaret I hope is looking down on me proud of what has been achieved. She will always hold a piece of my heart.
