We’re Breast Cancer Now, the charity that’s steered by world-class research and powered by life-changing care. We’re here for anyone affected by breast cancer, the whole way through, providing support for today and hope for the future. By 2050, we believe everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live – and be supported to live well. But we need to act now.

Story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Heidi, I am 35 & a BRCA 1 gene mutation carrier.

This means I have a 85% chance of contracting breast cancer & a 60% chance of contracting ovarian cancer at some point in my life.

I have 2 children, my daughter Mya who is 2 & my son Hayden who is 9 months.  My children have a 50% chance of also being carriers of this gene mutation.

Next year I will be having risk reducing surgery, a double masectomy with reconstruction and my ovaries removed.

Due to this I am trying to raise awareness & money so that a cure can be found to stop future generations having to make the same decisions I have.
