Fighting Against Cancer: Lucey's Journey

Lucey Lyne, an 18-year-old from Doncaster, has been battling Hodgkin Lymphoma since the age of 16. Despite undergoing intensive treatments, including 24 weeks of chemotherapy, four weeks of radiotherapy, and a stem cell transplant, Lucey relapsed and needed a donor transplant. Fortunately, a perfect stem cell match was found in a young man from Germany, giving Lucey a second chance at life. To raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust and to show support for Lucey's journey, her family will be climbing Mount Snowdon on July 19, 80s style.
