My story

 

Call me crazy but I need to do my bit for Cancer Research! My name is Katherine Formosa Bown, I'm 33yrs old and on 23rd February ‘09, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I found the lump on my honeymoon in December '08 and It's be a rollercoaster ever since, and I'm still in shock of how this could happen to me. I've been thinking how I can raise awareness for Breast Cancer and also raise money for research into preventing and healing all types of  Cancer....and this is my crazy idea, the million pounds challenge!

PLEASE NOTE: Since I set this up, a number of people have been donating more than £2 which is amazing, but these are my close friends and family or people who have been affected by cancer. So please don't feel that you have to donate more than £2, just please please pass this link on so that more people can turn £2 into £1million for Cancer Research. If you'd rather send a cheque, please contact me at katherine@urbantraffic.co.uk

IF YOU WANT TO HELP ME REACH £1M BY HAVING YOUR OWN JUSTGIVING PAGE OR ARRANGING A FUNDRAISING EVENT, PLEASE EMAIL ME AT katherine@urbantraffic.co.uk TO FIND OUT HOW TO DO IT
