My story

Sadly Leisha lost her brave and lengthy battle on 19th June 2025. We will continue to raise money in her name for her named charities. Thank you for all of your previous and ongoing support in raising money for these vital causes. Above all, she would want that. Thanks Mike

I would not have got through 2018 if it had been for the amazing support from my family and friends. I will never forget that first appointment! I don't think any one who hears the words "I'm sorry but it's cancer. Probably stage 2" ever does. The bottom fell out of my world in that instant.
I never thought it could get any worse. But in June 2022 it did! The words I never wanted to hear were spoken by my consultant " I am so sorry Leisha, but it's back and its spread"
So back to The Christie we have gone and after a whirlwind of scans, tests and appointments I am on a treatment plan which will  hopefully allow me to stick around for my amazing husband and son for as long as possible.
Life is so fleeting in the grand scheme of things and I want to spend the rest of mine surrounded by my nearest and dearest, they know who they are. I also want to raise as much money as I can for Prevent Breast Cancer, Macmillan and St Ann's Hospice where I  will spend my final time. All three charities have been amazing in the support they are giving me.
I truly hope that eventually no other woman has to hear those dreaded words. It's a club no-one should have to join.

My updates

On the 7th August myself and John walked from Liverpool Lime Street to home in sunny Sale, South Manchester. It was 57K. We hit the wall around 40K, but pure determination drove us on to complete the walk. Wer know Leisha would have been proud

Tomorrow, I will be walking from Liverpool to manchester with my childhood friend John as part of this ongoing 1610K in a year walking challenge. It will be a tough, long day, but we are both confident that we can pull it off

So I am walking away towards the target. In July I walked 143K despite only starting on 21st July

Walking 1610 KM in a year for Leisha. Emulating her amazing achievement of walking 1000 miles in 2019
