Cancer
Hi my name is Megan Neville and I am raising money for a charity close to my heart.
Cancer hit my family hard, myself my brother and sister saw our mum in 2021 get diagnosed with oesophageal cancer and the outlook wasn’t good, my very fit and healthy 45yr old mum was inoperable and palliative care seemed the only option so they hit her hard with chemotherapy and radiotherapy and amazingly the tumour was gone!!
Although mum was still living with some dormant cancer cells she began to rebuild her life and as a family we made memories!!
In 2022 she got stronger and then 2023 we thought things were on the up, mum got a job and found a love of hiking!! Then in April 23 she was diagnosed with cancer of the adrenal gland, and the challenge was on to find a surgeon but her team worked there magic and it was booked in, then after one cancelled date surgery took place in August it was risky but it was a success!!
Six weeks post surgery mum and I completed the half mighty hike and smashed it coming in 12th & 13th it was amazing!!
So this year the challenge is on for the full hike which mum and I will again do together!!
This is not only a personal achievement but raising money for a charity close to my heart is just as important
