We’re Breast Cancer Now, the charity that’s steered by world-class research and powered by life-changing care. We’re here for anyone affected by breast cancer, the whole way through, providing support for today and hope for the future. By 2050, we believe everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live – and be supported to live well. But we need to act now.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In March 2004, and with 3 young children, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy followed, which wasn't pleasant.

I've never been a serious runner - more of an infrequent jogger, and the furthest I have ever run in an event is 10K. I am taking this run very seriously and really, really want to do it in 2 hours. It will push me harder than I've ever been pushed before, but I still have my life and my health which, tragically, many others don't.

Breakthrough Breast Cancer does fantastic work, constantly looking into new treatments and how to prevent the disease in future.

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.
