Raising money for

Breast Cancer Haven

Charity Registration No. 1061726

More than 45,500 - that’s around 1 in 9 women - are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the UK. Diagnosis and treatment can have a huge emotional and physical impact on a woman and her family. As well as physical symptoms such as pain, nausea and hair loss, people often experience feelings of shock, fear and anxiety. Breast Cancer Haven is a registered charity providing support services to help them cope. Tailored to an individual’s needs and medical treatment, the charity’s programme of care focuses on the whole person – to help them feel better physically and emotionally and live a healthier life. There are 3 Havens - in London, Hereford and Leeds where Visitors can come and benefit from the expertise of our specialist nurses, therapists and counsellors and also from meeting others going through a similar experience. People who can’t get to a Haven can call our clinical specialists and counsellors or get information from our website. In addition, our DVD/CD and online support package called Breast Cancer Haven at Home is available from January 2009. Breast Cancer Haven’s services are free of charge and available to anyone who has been affected by breast cancer and those close to them. In the absence of any government funding, the charity is dependent on charitable donations and fundraising events to continue delivering this vital service.

My story

So my story...it's pretty simple really...I've decided to run a half marathon before I turn 30 later this year. My poor legs have been taking a battering over the last few months and the miles have been hard, so as I get closer to the date and the runs get longer, your donation will provide me with the inspiration and motivation to 'keep on running'

The target I have come up with is based that on how much it costs the Breast Cancer Haven to fund one Visitor. The Breast Cancer Haven provides various services to women who are facing breast cancer including support groups and complimentary therapies to assist patients through that difficult time. But please don't let that limit your generosity...the more I can raise, the better!!

Thanks so much and I'll let you know how I go!

Cheers

Naomi

UPDATE: I managed to finish in 2hrs 16 mins and 57 seconds - I was very, very happy with my time and very, very happy to finish!! Thanks for your donations! Cheers, Naomi
