Sharon Sheridan (Coen)'s Story

I'm doing this event because I was diagnosed with breast cancer last October at just 34.

This diagnosis was particularly devastating for my family as my mother was my age when she lost her own mother to breast cancer. 

I found the lump when I was 32, I went through the various checks then and was told not to worry about it. But it never went away. So I plucked up the courage to investigate it a second time and this time it was a different story. I had surgery to remove the lump, followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Now I'm putting all my effort into my recovery and I'm starting with this, and hopefully I can raise a few euro for this worthy cause along the way. 

What I've learned so far... you can always control your attitude 💪
