I have chosen to be apart of the Smiddy organisation and help raise funds for cancer research because my mother died of ovarian cancer. Her death shocked me at how cruel a disease can be. I want to have an active roll in beating cancer. Cancer is a major challenge facing society as it affects most families around the world. Our efforts are paying off with survival rates improving every year.
Thank you to all of you who have read my page, it shows you are sharing my concern.
