A WOMAN from Tilehurst is set to open Shine Night Walk after beating bowel cancer despite being told she had just 18 months to live.
Natasha Wakefield will be firing the klaxon to start the Southampton Shine Night Walk event after beating bowel cancer.
She was diagnosed at just 21 and when treatment failed, she was told she had just 18-months to live.
However, thanks to research, she was put on a clinical trial and she is now completely cancer-free.
Southampton’s Shine Night Walk will be taking place on October 13 from 7.30pm.
The 10km walk is organised by Cancer Research.
Starting and finishing on Guildhall Square, the route will take you towards the Peace Fountain, around St Mary's Stadium and past Bargate.
The charity is offering 30% off the entry fee until September 3.
