Raising money for

Southend Hospital Charitable Foundation

Charity Registration No. 1073031

We want to give patients the best possible chance of surviving breast cancer. That's why Southend Hospital Charitable Foundation is joining forces with Bosom Pals patient support group to raise money to improve screening services at the hospital.

We need your support to raise £750,000 towards this ambitious project. This will enable us to buy two full field digital mammography machines and associated I.T. equipment. This improved technology will help to provide shorter examination times, better technique and image quality - helping to detect early and small cancers.

My story

UPDATE: I completed the triathlon in around 91 minutes, or 1 hr 27 if you take away the transition period when I was drying my toes :-) Many thanks for all your support, it made a real difference as motivation during the event.

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

On the 5th of July I'm doing a charity triathlon to raise money for two digital mammography machines for Southend Hospital Breast Unit. Breast Cancer affects thousands of women and a handful of men each year and effective screening is the best way of preventing fatalities. Mammography machines are a key part of the screening programme.

The triathlon is a 400m swim, 20km bike ride and 5km run. Keen!

Cheers! x
