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

Dear Generous Sponsor ,

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. You may or may not know that I have never run a marathon in my life and I have agreed to do this on behalf of Carebase, due to my commitment to continue to raise money for most worthy causes.

It has been suggested that I must be mad to do something like this and, on reflection, I have questioned my own sanity whilst training in the freezing cold dark early mornings, come rain or snow. Notwithstranding this I am taking on the challenge in the hope that you will support my efforts for Breast cancer Haven.

Please read the the information about Breast Cancer Haven so you can see what a fantastic job they do to help people with Breast Cancer.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Breast Cancer Haven gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now! Carebase and I want to raise as much as we can and it would be fantastic if we could break our target of £50,000.

Thank you for your fantastic support.

Mike Hirsch
