Team Lauren

Walk 30 Miles in September

Emerging from a tough treatment week

It's always hard to manage getting out of the house during this week of Lauren's treatment but delighted to say I've managed another 3.5 miles over the last few evenings! Lauren emerged from the fog of medicines to join me on a mini walk this evening. 

A short walk after a long treatment day in the hospital

Managed to grab a short 1.5 mile walk this evening after a long treatment day in Crumlin. Lauren takes oral chemo every day but every four weeks she has to go in for iv chemo, an iv antibiotic to prevent her getting pneumonia (she is constantly immuno compromised) and she also takes high dose steroids for 5 days. Today she also had a chest xray. The next few days are always tough as the chemo gives her jaw pains, the steroids affect her mood and give her leg pains and she can have very little energy. As usual Lauren faced today head on and proved how strong she really is.

Walking and surfing in Cornwall

One of Lauren's biggest wishes since she was diagnosed in June 2024 was to get back to Cornwall to surf. She worked so hard to get her central line removed at the start of summer 2025 in order to make this happen. Last week, we travelled to Watergate Bay and she had a ball back in the surf!

Bowled over by your donations!!

Team Lauren's total now stands at over 3400 euro!!! I can't begin to tell you how much your support means to me.   The Irish Cancer Society provide practical support to families in similar circumstances to ours especially during the first few weeks after a life-changing diagnosis of a child. Thank you to all of you who have supported Team Lauren so generously. 

A short evening stroll after Lauren's treatment.

Lauren was in the hospital early this morning for a lumbar puncture and chemo into her spine so no big walks today but still managed to get in 1.49 miles this evening with Pixie and Izzy for company .... so incredibly grateful for your support 😀

Let's get walking
