Natalie got diagnosed with bone cancer in her ankle in November 2014. Natalie had to have a below knee amputation in May 2015 as chemotherapy wouldn't completely remove her cancer and she would only live for up to 5 years. Amputation was the only way to save her life. 9 weeks after Natalies amputation Natalie did the race for life and raised just over £1000 for cancer research. 
Natalie recently got engaged and now planning for the best day of her life in 2017.
