Story
In August 2018, our world was turned upside down when Judy was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer at the age of 60 and as fit as a fiddle. As I write this, she is currently undergoing chemotherapy to put the cancer back in its box. She is unbelievably stoical and carries on with life as normal, but at a slightly slower pace than usual. (Hard for her as she never sits down!)
I'm going to walk at least 100 miles in May with Rhum, a friend's dog, by my side to raise funds for Make 2nds Count.
For those who don't know, secondary breast cancer is breast cancer which has spread from the breast to other parts of the body. Although secondary breast cancer can be treated, there is no cure. Unlike those living with primary breast cancer, there is no end of treatment, there is no remission. It’s estimated that 35,000 people are currently living with secondary breast cancer in the UK yet only 7% of the National funding for cancer goes towards this incurable disease. Make 2nds Count aim to address this imbalance.
Judy is therefore living with cancer. Please give generously to support her and thousands of others living with it!
