Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have joined forces with some friends to walk 20 miles  for Breast Cancer Care on 4th June 2011. We are making the fund raising and walking fun and have created a team called 'SKM Enviros Pink Ladies' to make it a team effort. As well as creating our team fundraising page here on Just Giving, we are also holding cake sales every Friday in May in the run up to the walk, and have a number of other plans to reach our fundraising goal!

If you would like to donate a little amount, that would be fantastic. It will really help boost our training in the run up to the 4th June, and will really help our motivation to walk the 20 miles on the big day.

Just to help you understand what the money raised for Breast Cancer Care will do, please read on...

£23 pays for our expert helpline team to talk with a caller in confidence about any questions or worries they may have about breast health, or as a result of their breast cancer diagnosis or treatment.

  

£132 pays to connect someone going through breast cancer with a trained volunteer who has had a similar experience to them. We know how much reassurance and encouragement people can get from talking to someone who has been there, so we take care to find the best match we can for each individual.

 

£192 pays for us to train a health worker to run breast health workshops in their community. The two-day course builds the skills and confidence to promote breast awareness, covering signs, symptoms and risks, and promoting the importance of early detection and breast screening.

 

£650 pays for someone affected by breast cancer to receive regular support at home, over the phone as part of a Telephone Support Group. Alongside the chance to share experiences with people in a similar situation, a specialist nurse is on hand to answer any questions.
