I'm taking part in the Pink Ribbon Walks for my mum !
I am taking part in the Pink ribbon walk for my Mum Kelleigh who was diagnosed in 2010 at the young age of 38 with stage 2 breast cancer as well as the BRACA gene , and lost her fight to cancer in 2019.
She took part in many cancer clinical trials here in Auckland, Christchurch and even Sydney in hopes of finding something that would extend her life to be able to watch me and my sisters grow, after too long though her body no longer accepted any medication.
Kelleigh not only wanted to find medications that would help her but other women fighting breast cancer here in New Zealand in order to give them more opportunities to extend their lives with their families. But I am trying to continue her legacy onwards by trying to reach everyone around her that she touched and much further than that. My mum was the most brave, courages and loving person I have met filled with a smile and kindness that she aimed to spread to everyone around her, she had this certain beauty and strong will that she graced everyone with.
That’s why I’m taking part in the Pink Ribbon Walk this year, to help change that.
Please donate to raise funds for life-saving education, life-changing patient support and ground-breaking medical research. And bring us closer to a day when there are zero deaths from breast cancer.
