There is currently no cure for myeloma but Louise Greenbank hopes her sister's efforts will help fund research into a cure
A devoted sister has got on her bike for the longest cycle of her life to help find a cancer cure for her inspirational sister.
Mum-of-three Louise had been feeling unwell for a couple of months with increasingly debilitating symptoms, including rib pain and fatigue. She had seen a locum GP three times, to no avail, and been admitted to A&E twice. By this time Louise was in renal failure, she had broken ribs and holes - known as lesions - in her hip, pelvis and lower back.
Louise said: “I had been really fatigued but I put it down to the menopause, having three young children and running our family convenience store. I thought I probably just needed a holiday at first.”
