Last year my sister Lisa was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer, which is breast cancer that 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. 

Lisa's response has been nothing short of incredible. Instead of resigning herself to her diagnosis, this determined and selfless woman has founded a charity, Make 2nds Count, which aims to address the imbalance in funding for secondary breast cancer and support women with the diagnosis.

Make 2nds Count has already raised thousands for this cause, and I'm running the Ealing Half Marathon on the 30th of September to help raise more. Please give generously!
