Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for B.U.S.T
BUST was formed in 1991 by Frenchay Hospital patients Pamela Corrigan, Carol Thomas and Margaret Twiggs, when they learned from Consultant Surgeon, Mr Simon Cawthorn that his team needed a £20,000 ultra-sound scanner. The trio raised the money within two years and their impressive achievement led to the creation of the hospital’s specialist Breast Care Centre with its One Stop Clinic
I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in November 2012. I am the 5th member of my family to be diagnosed with the disease. My Mum was diagnosed when she was 49 she survived the disease but unfortunately went on to develop secondary cancer and she sadly passed away at the age of 71. She was such a strong lady and I miss her so much. The support we have now was not available when my mum was first diagnosed and so I am determined to give something back to all of those people who have supported me throughout my ordeal.
This July I will be cycling from London to Paris. The ride will take 4 days and we will be covering 80 miles a day. I am being joined on the journey by my fantastic family and friends, some of us have not been on a bike for a while but with enough training and determination we will complete the challenge.
I would really appreciate your support in sponsoring me for the ride I am sure you agree the money is going to a worthwhile cause.
