About this episode

http://braintumouruk.org.uk. In July 2004 my mum was diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer. Following surgery and chemotherapy she's had an amazing five years of life changing experiences. In June 2009 the cancer returned as tumours in her lungs and a large brain tumour. The tumour in her brain has been successfully removed and she received chemotherapy for the lung tumours. My mother is my true inspiration. One of the reasons shes so inspiring is that she raised £5,600 by trekking to Machu Picchu in Peru for Beating Bowel Cancer in May 2009. The trip was more amazing than she anticipated as unknown to us all she did it with brain and lung tumours and lung emboli (clots). So now it was my turn to do some fundraising! I did an amazing sky dive near Brackley, Oxford two days before my 21st birthday and raised £3500 for the charity Brain Tumour UK. the leading charity committed to fighting brain tumours by providing support, funding research and raising awareness in the UK. http://braintumouruk.org.uk
