My name is Emily-Jane and I'm 40 years old. On 31st October 2023 (Halloween!) I was given the devastating diagnosis of Pleural Mesothelioma. A rare, incurable cancer caused by exposure to asbestos!
It has taken a while to accept that this is really happening to me, especially as I am newly married and blessed with 2 adorable young sons and a lovely young stepdaughter.
I am so grateful for the overwhelming amount of love and support received from friends and family. In addition, I will be eternally thankful to two particular charities... Mesothelioma UK and Asbestos Support Central England, who have been a wonderful source of help and support during my journey.
On Saturday 6th July my husband (Ryan) and I will be completing a walking marathon across Worcestershire! The 'Hallow 12 Parish Challenge' starts in the picturesque village of Hallow, we will walk through the parishes of Hallow, Grimley, Little Witley, Hillhampton, Shrawley, Astley and Dunley, Abberley, Great Witley, Shelsley Beauchamp, Martley, Wichenford and Broadheath! - gosh I feel tired just typing this!!
Your kind sponsorship donations will not only go towards helping raise awareness of this rare type of cancer, which is slowly on the increase but also enable further desperately needed research and development to continue.
Lots of love
Emily-Jane and my ever so supportive husband, Ryan
