Story

This month is national breast cancer awareness month.

Dig deep for this fantastic cause.

 

Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK. It is not gender specific and it doesn't discriminate.

  • In the UK in 2008 almost 45,700 women were diagnosed with breast cancer, that’s around 125 women a day.
  • 277 men in the UK were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007

     

    Last year my very best friend was diagnosed with breast cancer. Without the funding for research and treatment she wouldn't have been around to enjoy her life, her forthcoming wedding and more importantly her lovely 2 yr old son.

    Unfortunately last year I also lost a member of the family to this devastating illness but with your help and support- more people will live.

     

    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.

    So please dig deep and donate now.
