Jamie Botten | Leonie's Legacy's Story
In February 2023 my beautiful Sister, Leonie, was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer after an initial misdiagnosis. In April 2023 we were advised she was Stage 4 and it had spread to her liver. On 30th June 2024 we lost her to this evil disease after a brief and horrific 16 month battle.Through Leonie's own fundraising effort for lifesaving treatment; she made it her mission to spread awareness for earlier detection of breast cancer in young women and we are aware of two cases that have resulted in early diagnosis as a result.In her legacy; I am participating in a nu...
In February 2023 my beautiful Sister, Leonie, was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer after an initial misdiagnosis. In April 2023 we were advised she was Stage 4 and it had spread to her liver. On 30th June 2024 we lost her to this evil disease after a brief and horrific 16 month battle.
Through Leonie's own fundraising effort for lifesaving treatment; she made it her mission to spread awareness for earlier detection of breast cancer in young women and we are aware of two cases that have resulted in early diagnosis as a result.
In her legacy; I am participating in a number of fitness events, raising funds for Breast Cancer charities, in a bid to ensure no other family endures the horrific journey we have.
I am committing to complete a minimum of 29 marathons, which is the age we lost Leonie and where she will remain forever young; plus other events to continue to spread awareness. 7 of these were completed in 2025 and I plan to complete 12 in 2026.
This page is for marathon #17 - the Dublin Marathon, which will be special. Leonie was booked to visit Dublin but never got the chance to due to her illness.
This will be no easy feat given an already broken body due to Arthritis, but I will get through those pain barriers and complete these, simply because Leonie cannot. I appreciate any support you are able to give.
