Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have been living with Breast Cancer for nearly 10 years now,having been diagnosed at 32 and was diagnosed as terminal over 4 years ago.

Breast Cancer Care have supported me every step of the way and I truly don't know how I would have coped without them. I have been a regular user of their internet forums,been to free weekend courses for Younger Women,healthy living days,used their helpline,their telephone support groups and peer support service. Since being diagnosed with secondaries I found the lack of support out there very isolating and Breast Cancer Care have truly been listening to the concerns of people like me and enabled me to speak at various events to healthcare professionals and politicians. Breast Cancer Care now run courses and groups especially for those with secondaries which had previously not existed. One group has just been set up in Cardiff and it is a godsend for me and so valuable to have a space to connect with others in a similar position and to be able to be honest and open to enable us to cope with what is an ongoing scary situation.

Since being diagnosed with secondaries 4 years ago an awful lot has happened to me with the end of my marriage,the end of hope of becoming a mother and having to cope with a terminal condition. However Breast Cancer Care has given me so many positive opportunities including modelling for their first Fashion Show in Cardiff in 2010 which marked my 40th birthday and filled me with confidence and such hope for making my remaining life as positive and worthwhile as possible.

It is Breast Cancer Care who nominated me to be an Olympic Torchbearer when I never dreamt I'd even be still here to see the 2012 Olympics! They've helped me to realise many dreams so please help me to help others realise theirs!

Cancer can be so destructive but with the amazing support Breast Cancer Care offer to patients and their families helps to give hope and to make the most of what is possible and to be there for the difficult moments.
