Becki M

Name: Becki McGuinness
Age: 25
Year of the Fix: 2013
Location: Southfields, London
Campaign: To provide emotional support for those affected by cancer

I know what it is like to face cancer, and I feel there isn’t a great deal of emotional support available for the patients, or their family and friends.

 

There is plenty of medical advice around, but maintaining the mental well-being of cancer patients and their loved ones is just as important.

 

I was diagnosed with the bone cancer osteosarcoma in 2008 but am now in part remission. During my time being treated for the disease, I found that using artwork and poetry helped me cope and prevented emotional stress building on top of me.

 

With the help of Fixers, I’m putting together a book of poems and illustrations to be created by those who have been affected by the disease. The book will also contain links to support and further information.

 

I want to distribute my book to young people and adults, and I hope that my Fix will work as a coping mechanism.

 

I want people to understand that they are not going through cancer alone.

Here is a list of Fixers who have helped me with my Fix:

 

Karly McCaig

Katie Harris

Linda Gyamfi

Michelle Lopez

Ninni Valo

Rebecca Thomas

Rosie Benn-Squire

Marc Woods, Paralympic Gold Medallist
