Emily Hayward’s Story | Malignant Melanoma | Stand Up To Cancer (2019)

Emily Hayward had been on a journey with skin cancer for over seven years. What started as a mole on her leg, was later diagnosed as a malignant melanoma. She was then told by doctors that her cancer had spread to her hip and brain. But when going through all of this Emily remained strong and proposed to her long time partner Aisha Hasan, marrying her soon after. Emily recorded her beautifully emotive journey, blogging about what she had experienced, on her own YouTube channel: “I’ve just got to live my life knowing that this could be it.“ Emily passed away, peacefully in June 2018, age 24. 1 in 2 people in the UK will get cancer during their life time.
