Raising money for

The Lavender Trust at Breast Cancer Care

Charity Registration No. 1017658

The Lavender Trust raises money specifically to fund Breast Cancer Care's innovative range of information and support services for younger women.

My story

Hi! My name is Karina and I am a Breast Cancer survivor. I am delighted to be part of this event and would love to raise heaps of money to help the Lavender Trust to support people like me through what is a very harrowing time.

Breast Cancer affects people from all walks of life, it does not care how rich or poor we are or how stable we are in our relationships. In younger women, such a diagnosis can be financially crippling as not all of us are in the position of having an employer who will be supportive and allow us time to get back to reasonable health before returning to full time work. Not all of us have partners and families who are there to support us emotionally and practically while we deal with childcare worries.

Your donations will help to ensure that young women with Breast Cancer have their specific needs addressed. Helplines to call on when we need to talk to someone who understands. An advocate to see to it that standards are set to ensure that we are given the priority we need to be seen and treated quickly.

All donations to myself or any of the other riders in the UK event will be gratefully received regardless of the amount. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Lavender Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now! Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you for your support!
