'It was the worst day of mine and my family’s life'
A primary school teacher feared she would never get pregnant following her cancer diagnosis and treatment.
“When I was told I had cancer, I just burst into tears. My mum and dad were with me and they broke down too. It was the worst day of mine and my family’s life," the 29-year-old said. Hannah said: “Then the worst part came. My partner Cameron and I had recently decided to try for a baby and they said I needed to prepare for the fact that I may never be able to have children, as the treatment was likely to make me infertile. This felt worse than the news that I had cancer.”
Now in remission with annual check-ups, Hannah says she owes her life to Cancer Research UK, who’s scientists helped develop four chemotherapy drugs she was treated with. This is the 30th year of Race for Life and participants will receive a medal to mark the milestone. The event has an extra special meaning for Hannah as it will kick start her birthday celebrations as she turns 30 later this year.
"With multiple people close to me being affected by cancer, I’m proud to be playing my part in raising money for life-saving research. I led a warm-up at one of the first Race for Life events in the 90s, so this feels very nostalgic and celebrating this special occasion is an absolute joy! So, come on gang, sign up for the Race for Life… and say YEAH! Let’s do this!”
