"As the child of a survivor, I too, see myself as a survivor. Cancer is something that consumes and destroys so many lives and I'm so proud that this is a part of my legacy.
I'm very proud of what this advert stands for and the great partnership between Lloyds Bank and Macmillan Cancer Support in spreading such a positive message that sufferers are not alone.
I was elated to hear that the lead; Tracy is now in remission after a year long battle since her diagnosis. Please remember that Cancer is something that we battle as families, communities and friends." - JD Hunt
I dedicate this advert to my Grandad Les who was taken from us by Cancer in 2003 & to my dear friend and teacher Ria Richardson who was taken from us in 2014 & to everyone who is fighting. This is our legacy."
