Story
Thanks for taking the
time to visit our JustGiving page
As most of you know, this
time last year I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer. At 30
years old with no family history of breast cancer I think it's fair to say it
came as quite a shock! However, after surgery, chemotherapy, radiation
and lots of love and support I am now feeling sparkly again.
It is only in the last few years that professionals studying breast cancer have concluded that breast cancer is not one disease, but many different forms of cancer. Depending on its stage of diagnosis, triple negative breast cancer can be extremely aggressive and more likely to recur and metastasize than other subtypes of breast cancer. It typically is responsive to chemotherapy, although it can be more difficult to treat because it is unresponsive to the most effective receptor targeted treatments. Triple Negative Breast Cancer affects mainly younger women between the age of 25 and 39. (For more info on TNBC please go to www.tnbcfoundation.org)
Cancer Research UK has a number of trials underway which are aimed at trying to find a targeted treatment specifically for Triple Negative Breast Cancer. With your help, we will hopefully find a treatment and you never know, maybe we will find a cure.
Over the past year lots of our friends and families have raised money and awareness of tnbc and we are now ready to get involved ourselves. Adam is going to run the full Singapore Marathon and I am going (to try) to run the half Marathon along with some of our friends. We would be very grateful for your support, so please dig deep and donate now. Many Thanks Hannah and Adam Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
