I will be attempting six yoga sessions in one day on 10th September 2009 for Breast Cancer Haven.
Breast Cancer Haven was founded by Sara Davenport in 1997. The idea for the charity came following the experience of her children's nanny who was diagnosed with the illness. Sara was concerned by the lack of emotional support and information available to people with breast cancer. Believing that "no-one should have to face breast cancer alone", Sara sold her art business and put all of her energy into creating Breast Cancer Haven.
Breast Cancer Haven in Fulham is housed in an old Welsh Presbyterian church which has also been used as a dance and drama school. It was virtually derelict when Sara bought in 1998, but with the support of many generous individuals and companies, and the expertise of architect Martin Hay, the building was transformed into the wonderful peaceful and healing environment which is now Breast Cancer Haven which was opened in February 2000
The Haven has been an amazing support for one of my friends, which is why I wanted to raise money for them, to continue their work in this field.
