We’re Breast Cancer Now, the charity that’s steered by world-class research and powered by life-changing care. We’re here for anyone affected by breast cancer, the whole way through, providing support for today and hope for the future. By 2050, we believe everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live – and be supported to live well. But we need to act now.

Story

<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">I did it!! It took about 8 hours, it was very windy, but it was an incredible day!! About 100 mothers, and 3 fathers, set off from Moulsford at 5am and we arrived soon after 1pm at the White Horse in Uffington, to be greeted by family and friends. It was very emotional for me at the end, a year ago I would never ever thought it would have been possible, but I will never forget walking over that finishing line! </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">I have been totally overwhelmed by all the donations I have had and thank everyone so much for their tremendous generosity and support. THANK YOU!! Together, I have raised over &pound;7000, including gift aid, for Breakthrough Breast Cancer, and as a team we have raised over &pound;25000, which is incredible.&nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">I will now have to plan something for next year!! xx</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><br /></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>If someone had said to me a year ago that in May, 2011, I would be doing a 26 mile charity walk, I know I would have thought that they were crazy! One year ago I was facing my second diagnosis of breast cancer in a year.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>But &nbsp;I have come out fighting! Perhaps I am the crazy one now! It's not going to be easy, but I am doing this to show people that life carries on after breast cancer and most importantly to raise money to help fight this terrible disease.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Remember, donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving, they'll never share them with anyone else or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to Breakthrough Breast Cancer. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 28%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK tax payer too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>If together we can prevent just one person from having to go through what I did, it will be worth it.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you so much, Olivia x&nbsp;</p>
