Tori’s Tour De 4 Fundraiser for Secondary Cancer

I'm raising money for Ladies Fighting Breast Cancer Trust and Cancer Research UK and your contribution will help to make an impact!

WHAT?

I am taking part in the Tour de 4 in Scotland this September, cycling the red route which is a 56 mile/90 kilometre bike ride.

WHO FOR?

Ladies Fighting Breast Cancer are an incredible support network who have taken me under their wing from day 1 and made sure myself and my family are looked after, allowing us to make memories together, as well as providing friendship, care and advice. I have also had the pleasure of singing with their choir! They are simply amazing ladies!

Without Cancer Research UK, I wouldn’t be on the medication I currently am, which is keeping me living well with the disease. Their research is helping us cancer bods stay alive a lot longer than the prognosis’s.

WHY?

I was originally diagnosed in 2015 with breast cancer, overnight it flipped my world upside down. I underwent various surgeries from fertility preservation to a lumpectomy, gruelling chemotherapy, 25 days of radiotherapy, and ongoing hormone and targeted treatments. In 2022, just a year after my miracle daughter was born, I was given the devastating news that the cancer had returned, metastasised, and was now incurable Stage 4 cancer. It had made a home in my liver, and in my spine, hips, ribs and collarbone, causing two spinal fractures. I reentered the world of treatment, with radiotherapy to my spine, gruelling chemotherapy once again, and ongoing targeted and hormone treatments. I continue to have 3-weekly, 4-weekly and 6-weekly treatments along with a variety of daily medications. Due to one of the treatments that is keeping the cancer at bay, my heart function has also been severely impacted over the years.

There is so much more to Stage 4 than dying, and Sir Chris Hoy has set up this event following his own Stage 4 diagnosis, to change the perceptions of incurable cancer.

There’s still hope, life to live and mountains to cycle!

Living for a cure. Thank you for your support. ❤️
