Pink Ribbon Walk

Cancer is that horrible illness that seems to affect everyone in some way in their lives at some time. Most people know someone who has had it and unfortunately it is one of my family members turn to take on the biggest fight of their lives and win the war against the big C.

My beautiful cousin Eve, who I will be uploading a pic of just so people can see how amazing she looks even though she is half way through her treatment, has been diagnosed with breast cancer. 

It was so out of the blue, that I don't think it quite sank in for a while. The first thing I said was "she's so young"- something I know from another close friend, means nothing with cancer.

So, as we all feel pretty helpless at the moment because theres nothing we can physically do to help her on her journey, Eve's sister has organised for us all to take part in the Pink Ribbon Walk.

It is a 10 mile walk at Leeds Castle on Saturday 7th June 2014 and so far I think about 30 of us have said yes to taking part. There is a minimum amount of money to raise before you take part, which is £100, so I'm expecting everyone I know to sponsor me!

If anyone would like to join us on this walk, have a look on the website I've linked and let me know. You may have your own person you would like to do the walk for, either way I think it will be a lovely day that we can all take part in.

Now for the picture of beautiful Eve with my mum on New Years Eve. You would not believe she is halfway through chemotherapy here! Most glamorous chemo patient ever? ........
