A MUM-OF-TWO with cancer says she feels ‘blessed’ after winning a life-changing amount of money.

Amanda Stamp, 38, won £99,000 last week after entering the Cash Register competition on KISS radio.

Amanda, from Fleet, said: “I keep crying every day because it’s been so overwhelming! It’s changed my life and I have to keep pinching myself. It still doesn’t feel real.”

Amanda’s win comes at a time when the family are already coping with some dreadful news.

After having just been told of her incredible win, Amanda revealed on air that she had been diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer in November 2020 - when she was eight months pregnant with her youngest daughter Jasmine, who’s now two.

Currently living with a colostomy bag and unable to walk long distances following an operation last year, Amanda, who also has an 11-year-old daughter, Amelia, plans to use the large sum to make “everlasting memories for [her] girls.”

She said: “I’ve dreamed of taking them to Disneyland for the whole of my treatment and now when we’re there I don’t have that worry of if the girls want a pretzel or ice cream, they can have it. It’s just surreal and I don’t think anything’s going to feel real until I’m there.”

As well as the dream trip to Disneyland, Amanda has also set some money aside for the girls for when they’re older, and is grateful that she decided on a whim to enter that day’s Cash Register competition.

She said: “I’d stopped playing for three or four weeks because I was like, ‘I’m not going to win this, I’ll give it a go another time,’ but then on a whim I just entered and look what happened!”

It’s important to Amanda that alongside what this win can do for her daughters it also gives her the opportunity to raise awareness of bowel cancer.

Amanda said: “People think bowel cancer is an old people’s cancer, but it’s not. Cancer doesn’t have an ‘age,’ it just attacks when it wants to. All I really want is for people to be aware, because I don’t think I’d be in the situation I’m in now, living with two bags and not being able to walk too far if I’d known to check my poo.

“So, you’ve not just changed my life but you’re helping me spread awareness, and it’s the most amazing feeling in the world.”
