Anya’s Wish
Tuesday 16th NovThis Sunday i’ll be joining many in taking part of the 19 for 19 challenge in honour of Anya.
The 19 for 19 challenge is a 19km walk for Anyas 19 years of life and is to help raise awareness and funds for osteosarcoma, this was Anyas wish.
Anya was 13 when she was diagnosed with high-grade metastatic osteosarcoma – an aggressive and life-threatening bone cancer.
After 6 years of treatment, hospital stays and surgeries, Anya passed away at just 19 years of age, on September 12th 2020.
Towards the end of her short life, Anya wished that her body, her experience with the disease, and any other resources be focused on the ongoing research to end childhood cancer, and particularly sarcomas.
If anyone is in the position to be able to donate to this cause, we would be so grateful.
Everyone is welcome to take part of the challenge, registration ends this Thursday.
