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
Leisha's story in her own words:
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 Moya Cole 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
September 27th is nearly upon us. Our Annual Coffee Morning where we raise extra money for our three charities. It will be different this year without our driving force, but we will make her proud. We always raise over a thousand pounds at these due to your generosity. If you cannot make it, donations to this page would be warmly received as ever. We take nothing for granted xx
As at 020825 I had walked 398.18 KM. Thought I would upload a photo of Leisha and I when she was doing this
Upto and including today (24/08/25) I have walked 348 K. so by my reckoning I am just over a fifth of the way there. Thank you to everyone who has contributed, commented or joined me so far. You are all stars like Leisha.
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
