Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I have combined my passion for Karting, the love for my job and the importance of this charity and organised an Endurance Race at Buckmore Park.  
As most people know, my Mum had Breast Cancer in 2017. It is a devastating disease that impacted  the whole family in so many ways. 
To date, Breast Cancer Care have invested over £243 million in breast cancer research. But it doesn’t end there. The support they give from first diagnosis is invaluable…from the information available on their website, Nurses on call and courses on how to cope with life after Cancer and much more. All of which where a great help to my Mum. 
Treatments are changing all the time. With charities like this continuing to research breast cancer and secondary breast cancer, hopefully one day very soon, they will find a cure for this awful disease. But they can only continue to do this with the support from us raising money for them. 
Remember early diagnosis is key so please make sure you check your bits and pieces regularly and see your GP if anything changes or is different for you. 
Thank you so much to everyone for your support. 
Love 
Megan & Paula
