It was the day that I set up the Facebook page and from then on we have grown into what we are today.
Originally we started out as just a FB page offering support to others who had been diagnosed with womb cancer as there was a lack of dedicated support.
Many of the orignal ladies who joined us had been members of a US FB group and although it was good to have somewhere to be able to talk to others in a similar situation, it often felt like we were on the outside looking in because of the way that our health system differs from the US model.
So, instead of saying "why doesn't someone start a UK group" - I just did it and that was that.
It soon became clear that there was a lack of awareness about womb cancer so the group quickly morphed into a support & awareness group.
The Facebook page was followed by me getting onto Twitter and then making simple Youtube videos to raise awareness. Nothing fancy mind, just simple videos to help spread the word.
Over the years, we have gathered a sizeable following across our social media platforms which now include Instagram and our own website.
The awareness raising is as important as the support we offer to those who have been diagnosed either through out main FB page or our closed private support group which currently has over 400 members and is a safe space for those who seek support, information or just a shoulder to cry on when things get tough.
Some of those who joined us in the early days are still members of the group who have stayed around to offer support to those who are newly diagnosed.
The support that everyone offers to each other is heartening and many of us have become friends, even if it is only online.
I have dedicated the past 12 years of my life to running WCSUK and its been tough at times as my own health is far from good and there have been several times when I have wanted to stop.
But I haven't; because supporting those who have been diagnosed and raising much needed awareness is important to me.
However, I no longer need to dedicate so much time and effort to doing this as there are now others who are helping to #GiveWombCancerAVoice and I know that I can take a step or two back now in the knowledge that womb cancer is getting the attention it needs and those who have been diagnosed can get the support they need.
We have been lucky to have had the support of some other great organisations like Diane at Menopause Support, Sam at Jo Divine, Neelam at Cysters, Maureen at PCOS Vitality, and not forgetting Eve Appeal & GO Girls both of which are gynae cancer charities.
Last but not least a big mention has to go to Peaches Womb Cancer Trust which was set up a couple of years ago and is a dedicated womb cancer charity run by an all female team of gynae experts based in Manchester.
Womb Cancer Support UK has never been about me - its about all the wonderful Peach Sisters who have been part of it over the years. Those who reached out to us for support after being diagnosed; those who stayed with us after they got the all clear to offer support to others; those who shared their stories by writing guest blog posts for the website; those who shared their story with local media and gave talks to help raise awareness.
I am forever grateful to each and every one of you for helping to #GiveWombCancerAVoice over the past 12 years.
I set up WSUK because I was scared & lonely when I was diagnosed at the very end of 2009 and I thought there might be others out there who fet the same way.
I was right, there was - lots of them.
Together we became a strong force who helped each other out.
