Hi all having recently been diagnosed with lynch syndrome along with my sister after my mums diagnosis and my uncle and cousins diagnosis we would like to raise money towards lynch syndrome uk, many people even doctors haven’t heard of lynch syndrome and it is getting more and more common now it is getting more known about, basically people are born with different genetics from parents some are called faulty genes in which one can carry some altered genes I’ve got one altered gene and my sister and mum have 2 along with my uncle, now this increases your risk of certain types of cancers compared to people with normal genes, for me the risk of bowel cancer is at 47% but others are much higher, this can be passed down from me to my children too likewise with my sister and my cousins unfortunately we were very unlucky and lost my cousin Michael to cancer from lynch syndrome and he was the nicest person you could ever meet, so this is also in memory of Mike who we lost at a very young age, we was going to do the walk in aid of cancer research but because lynch syndrome doesn’t hardly get much support at all in comparison I would like to donate as much as possible to this worthy cause, me Naomi and the boys with the exception of Isla of course will be walking a mile a day all through September to raise money towards this great cause a mile to some people doesn’t seem a lot but with Theo having autism and struggling to walk even to his school this will be a big challenge for him, so any donation however small will be very much appreciated.
