Claire and Steve

Time for another update!

Even though I finished 100 miles in May nearly 3 weeks ago I’m delighted and humbled to say the money is continuing to come in and now stands at an amazing £1345 pounds 💛🧡🙏

I can’t thank you all enough for your kind and generous donations that has raised so much money for such an important cause very close to our hearts ❤️

The money raised into researching the treatments into Melanoma and other Skin cancers has again been highlighted to us in the last few weeks.

Immunotherapy is still keeping the Cancer at bay but more and more side effects have now become a reality.

Claire has now been diagnosed with osteoporosis so will need some extra infusions at a different hospital to strengthen her bones.
Her Thyroid has been damaged so is on medication for this and now her pituitary gland is also being damaged so even more tests are being organised for this. Due to these problems with the glands she can no longer produce her own cortisol so is on daily steroids for life to artificially replace this.
All of these conditions are a side effect of immunotherapy.
This is why your money will help so much as the treatment is so new it still needs a lot of fine tuning to minimise all these side effects.

So all that’s left is to thank you all again and if anyone else wishes to donate that hasn’t already that would mean the world to us.
🧡💛🙏

As it’s now the 1st June it’s time to update you all on the total raised to date which is now a staggering £1105 pounds for the 100 miles in May fundraiser for Melanoma Focus and Skcin🧡💛🙏

After 31 Days my knees have decided they need a rest so I managed a total of 104 miles in the end 🏃‍♂️💪🙏

Just cannot believe how much support we have received since taking part in this fundraiser and how incredibly generous people have been some of whom Claire and I do not even know but they have still given money to this fundraiser 🙏

All that’s left to say is again a massive thank you to everyone again and hope that this has demonstrated how important research into all types of Cancer is, this is our nightmare and without immunotherapy advances it would be more then that.
Claire continues to be amazing and somehow takes all the knock backs, new side effects, blood tests, scans and constant hospital visits all without complaining.
Claire being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer means that before July 2021 we had a pretty ordinary and normal life.
After July 2021 that all started to change 😢
We both hold full time jobs 🙏
Cancer is a full time job 🧡💛
Life will never be the same but we make the most of it and look to the future 🧡💛

The Cancer is still at bay so the main focus is managing the side effects the treatment has given Claire to date especially as she has just started her second year of treatment.

This week has been the first week Claire has had no appointments at all since February but the appointments are racking up again next week and once again they are all due to the side effects of treatment.

This is why your support and donations are so dear to us.
Thank you 🙏 🧡💛

100 miles completed!! 🧡💛🙏

After 27 days and 25 hours of walking and running and so far £1030.00 raised the 100 miles in May fundraiser 2023 is complete 🏃‍♂️💪🙏

Just cannot believe how much support I have received since taking part in this fundraiser and how incredibly generous people have been some of whom Claire and I do not even know but they have still given money to this fundraiser 🙏

I plan to do more miles up until the end of the month so I will update on the 31st how many I get to.
