I was handed a leaflet today as I passed through the university building. It highlighted one of the 'most common cancer in the under 30s' , Lymphoma. The Pitstop campaign aims to raise awareness of the symptoms and signs of Lymphoma.
With six young people in the UK, being told that they have cancer, I am reminded of the fight and struggle that so many people have to go through every single day. Last year I spoke to Laura. She's 16 and is being treated for Hodgkin's Lymphoma. A incredible brave young woman who not only has the concerns and anxieties of teenagers globally, but has to fight for her future every single day.
I wish her the very best for her future, and express my true admiration for her courage and determination.
