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

RACE UPDATE: Congratulations to the girls - starting 250th, finished up 123rd, with a time of 23:09.03 just over 30 seconds behind the winners of the Novice Club classification! A huge well done to all those involved! And thanks especially go to Andy Turner of Kings School Canterbury BC for the loan of a boat and assistance with the training and race!

Unfortunately we haven't yet reached our target of £500 (slightly to the relief of the girls - as it was far too cold to race in bras!) But we are still working hard to reach our target to please sponsor the girls for their efforts.

=================================================================

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.

We are a composite crew of ladies from the South East Coastal Region. We come from Herne Bay, Deal, Dover and Folkestone Rowing Clubs and are joining together to experience rowing in an eight boat together for the first time! We are in it for the fun of it - but at the same time thought it would be a good opportunity to help raise money towards the events selected charity Breast Cancer Haven!

And if we reach our target before race day - we promise to race in our bras!

So donate some pennies and help support us in our challenge!

Thank you! - from the Women's Head of the River SECRRC* crew!
