I am sharing my story to help encourage more people to become regular givers

“Turning 50 actually saved my life. I was offered a routine mammogram by the NHS and shortly afterwards I become a statistic – the one on two given a cancer diagnosis. I had never been healthier in my life but unknown to me, a tumour that I never felt was growing in my breast and needed treating.

Luckily for me, I already knew that FORCE would be there for me, my family and any friends that were going to be experiencing my diagnosis with me.”

FORCE has been with Ruth every step of the way through chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy and ongoing treatment to keep her cancer free.

FORCE has reinforced my strength to keep going during some of the more bleak moments on the road to wellness and I look forward to accessing their services and to continue to raising funds for the charity.”
