Hi Everyone,
As some of you may previously remember a couple of years ago Erin competed in Cancer Research UK's Race for Life. If you are unaware of this then it is an event where woman all over the UK will walk or run to help fund raise money for Cancer Research UK.
With the help of TheTechGame we were able to raise 1124.00. This is a substantial amount when every pound counts to help support research to cure cancer, volunteers who donate their time to fund raising as well as families who are going through the unimaginable depression and other issues surrounding a family member diagnosed with Cancer. Please see Erin's Thank You Thread by clicking here!
Many of you will have been fortunate enough that you have not had a family member or friend of your own diagnosed with cancer. I have unfortunately had both happen - My gran was diagnosed with cancer and it is simply a horrible feeling when you see someone going from strong, independent and full of life to having to move in with ourselves, becoming bed-bound and unable to even go to the toilet themselves. I have also had one of the girls that I was in school with diagnosed with cancer and you really struggle to understand how someone at 20 years old could end up with such a horrible disease. It is a terrible thing and i'm sure that I don't need to explain out why cancer is indeed so terrible as I'm sure you are all aware and i'm sure that you will know of someone who has been affected by cancer even if it's a friends family member.
Some of you may know that there was the #NoMakeUpSelfie trend that happened on facebook and twitter that helped raise money for cancer - This is the face my friend while she battled cancer while only 2 years out of school who I am extremely happy to say has made a full recovery and just makes you appreciate life every single day!
I would like to surprise one of my friends who is currently raising money on her [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] As you can read on her page she has also had her family personally affected by cancer.
If you are able to donate then that would be fantastic, as said above - Everything helps in the fight against cancer. If you are unable to donate then that doesn't have to stop you - You can always try to fund raise yourself or even share the word about others donations. On the other hand if you wish to donate to Cancer Research UK Directly and not through my friend that is perfectly understandable and you can do so [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Another inspirational story which is receiving a ton of attention is [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and I would suggest reading about it if you have not already done so.
End Note: If you are personally fundraising for Cancer Research through the JustGiving website then please feel free to leave your link for donations on this topic.

feel super incredibly beyond belief self conscious posting this but it's for cancer awareness and well... I felt it seemed appropriate to post a picture from when I was at my sickest to show what cancer actually looks like on a persons face. It's pain, exhaustion, anger, hurt, loneliness, and finally courage. I have never been more grateful for my own natural beauty (pfft) I adore my eyebrows and eyelashes I never really showed my face like this, I tried to hide actually looking sick. My eyes burned every minute of every day, my skin and nails didn't feel like my own and my lips cracked from poison. I'm happy this movement is happening but I also feel it is important to show women what reality looks like. Love yourself even if that means wearing make up to make yourself feel like a better you.

Just donated 10 pounds , For a good cause! Lost my grandad not to long ago to cancer which sucked but to have the extra time with him was great and is something i will always appreciate to the hospice where he was at. He got told he had a few hours to live, turned out he had three years! My dad is also doing the Manchester 10k if you want to donate [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] if you don't that's fine! . Thanks for this post Dale!

Thanks for this post Dale.
I'd like to start off by saying how nice it is to hear that your friend at such a young age has made a full recovery and is well now.
It truly is sad to see how much of an impact cancer can have, not only on the person diagnosed - but the families and even friends of that person.
Last year my sister was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a blood cancer for those who aren't aware. She too was at a young age, just 18. I wont go into details, but cancer is a terrible thing - she spent her 18th birthday receiving chemotherapy. I am just truly greatful that it turned out okay in the end - it was a long, long road, but she too is well now.
I encourage anyone who can to get on board with this to do so. I can't donate seeing as I recently donated to an Australian cancer organisation [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] , and am quite stripped for cash at the moment! But remember, word of mouth spreads quickly.
Good luck to you and your friend, and anyone else who has been affected by this terrible disease.
