I'm walking beside my dear friend. Here is her story & Please get your checks.

My name is Jaymee and I was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer in January. I have undergone major surgery, chemo and radiotherapy. I am still in active treatment.

I would like to raise awareness about colorectal cancer and that it is no longer an “older” persons disease. The rates are on the rise in the younger generation and I would like to encourage people to get checked.

I will be taking part in the trek whilst undergoing treatment to prove to myself that cancer has not and will not take all from me - and to complete the walk to make my family and friends proud. I would like to show resilience and determination, so I can encourage my son to grow up with these traits.
