Last summer, my world changed forever. I was pregnant when I was diagnosed with premediastinal B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma - an aggressive form of cancer. In the midst of what should have been one of the happiest times of my life, I faced the unimaginable: fighting for my life while having to say goodbye to my baby girl, Kainaat Pearl.

The diagnosis, treatment, and loss have left deep emotional and physical scars. Even now, in remission, the effects of cancer are still with me, from the toll it’s taken on my body to the grief I carry daily.

Throughout this journey, Lymphoma Action has been a light in the darkness. Their support, information, and community have helped me feel less alone during the hardest time of my life.

That’s why I, along with some friends and family will be taking on a 7km walk to raise money for Lymphoma Action and give back to the charity that has given so much to me and others like me.

Every step we take is for Kainaat, for those still fighting, and for those we’ve lost.

If you’re able to, please donate and help make a difference.
