Little did I know how the Marie Curie daffodil which mum wore on her coat would become such a focus and support whilst I sat in the consultant's room with my dad and the most important woman in my life, my mum.

The words ‘your cancer is terminal’ have echoed forever in my head. Following this devastating news, I asked mum which charity she would like me to fundraise for. She immediately chose Marie Curie, which is how my fundraising journey began.

Marie Curie does so much work that people don’t realise is valuable until they need it. I’m fundraising in memory of my mum. It means a lot to be able to raise awareness for such an important cause.
