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

Our team's motto is, 'How hard can it get?' because we're tackling one of the hardest one-day bike rides in the world to raise money for a rather special charity.

Named after a hardy Alpine animal, La Marmotte is the cycle ride to be reckoned with. And it’s a way for Breast Cancer Haven to raise some much-needed funds.

Over 5,000 Lycra-clad cyclists will head to the base of Alpe D’Huez, France, on 4^th July. They will turn the pedals over 50,000 times to climb half the height of Everest and travel 110 miles, arriving at The Alpe around eight hours later. And we will be joining them!

We are a crew of ten cyclists from the UK called The Mad Marmotters, sponsored by Giftex Prepay, and we will be raising money for Breast Cancer Haven.

This is a fantastic charity and we really need your support in order to reach our target of £10,000. So please be as generous as you can.

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.

Thanks so much for your support.

Tony and the rest of the Mad Marmotters.
