Anyone who knew Laura knows that she was a brave and selfless person who, after a year of fighting Ovarian Cancer, sadly lost her battle.
Because of that selflessness, Laura would want as many people as possible to learn from her experience and to spread awareness in order to improve the survival rates amongst women who suffer with Ovarian Cancer.
So then I'm fast approaching my 30th and it's my goal to run a half marathon! I want to make those I've lost proud of me and end my twenties with a bang!

Where I do I begin-
Back in June 2007, My courageous Mum lost her battle against Ovarian Cancer, she battled this diesease every inch of the way, never once did she complain, she was more concerned about how her family would cope without her, and nearly 4 years on, her family are still trying to come to terms with thier loss.
What she suffered she told so few,
She did not deserve what she went through,
Tired and weary she made no fuss,
But tried so hard to stay with us.
Unselfish ways, a heart of gold,
No finer Mother this world could hold.
A wonderful brave woman, Mum, Aunty,Sister and best friend who never gave up. Always wore a big beautiful smile no matter what.
Thank you for supporting Ovarian Cancer Action.
"Men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever."
Our beloved wife, mum, grandmother, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and friend. Taken too soon, but she will be with us always.
My mum passed away from ovarian cancer on 25th August 2010, just 2 days after her 53rd birthday.
