Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page
In May of this year my wife Emma was unexpectedly diagnosed with breast cancer. The first part of her treatment involved an operation to remove the tumour. When Emma went into hospital she was surprised to receive an amazing goodie bag from breast friends and family and this was when we were introduced to this incredible charity. The goodie bag contained extremely thoughtful items such as an organza bag filled with lavender, a crystal guardian angle, a pair of slippers and a hand made love heart shape cushion to provide comfort after the operation so much more.
Emma's treatment took a detour in that not all the cancer cells were removed after the first operation and so she chose to have a mastectomy with reconstruction. Breast friends and family at this point gifted Emma a front fastening bra which has been amazing from a practical and comfort point of view.
Emma is about to embark on the next stage of her treatment and undergo chemotherapy. While she is OK with loosing her hair it really bothered her to think she was going to loose her eyebrows and breast friends have demonstrated their generosity again by paying for her to have her eyebrows microbladed (tattooed on).
So for that reason I want to do something to express our thanks for their help and support so far and have decided to take part in their sponsored abseil from the Forth Rail Bridge! Any sponsors big or small are very much appreciated.
