Tanis Roberts – UWCB BRIGHTON

In January 2020, I received some alarming news – a severe liver condition diagnosis. It was a stark wake-up call for me. I completely transformed my lifestyle, shedding close to 30kg in just three months, and significantly improving my health.

With the loss of three of my grandparents to cancer, I felt a deep need to give back through sports. After completing my first 10k earlier this year, I discovered UWCB. The fact that it supported Cancer Research UK resonated deeply with me, so I signed up immediately.

The training leading up to the event was intense, but I loved every moment of it. Unfortunately, just before the event, a dear friend lost their battle with bowel cancer, adding even more meaning to my participation.

Now that the event is over, I can tell you that it was an incredible experience. The adrenaline, the camaraderie, and the sense of purpose were overwhelming. While I didn’t win my fight, I came out of it feeling stronger and more determined than ever.
