Story

Being diagnosed with Breast Cancer was the scariest moment of my life. But you quickly come to realise that you are not alone and there are so many support networks available. When I was diagnosed my little boy was only 11 months old. Mummy’s Star provided a grant that eased the financial pressure of my Husband not being able to work throughout my treatment. They also have a great Facebook Forum that allows you to connect with other mums / mums to be who can offer support and advice from their own situations, this network and grant has been invaluable to me and my family and I’d like to raise a little something to say thanks xx

Mummy's Star is the only charity in the UK and Ireland dedicated to supporting pregnancy through cancer and beyond. Your donation means that women diagnosed with any cancer during pregnancy or within a year of a birth are able to reach Mummy's Star and the specialised support they offer. They help families to meet others in a similar position, offer small grants to relieve some financial burden, give support to partners and the wider family, promote awareness and support research. Thank you!
