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

In September 2013, Mum was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia and it seemed like our world was tipped upside down. Scary hospital visits, daily pills, chemotherapy, stem cell transplants and generally lengthy and frustrating hospital stays have all become a part of our every day life. 

This is the case for many families, and we want to help support others while still battling Mum's disease. More than 50,000 woman are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and Breast Cancer Now do a great job of supporting those families with their struggles and researching ways to cure the disease.  

We're hoping to walk 25 miles of the West Highland Way over the length of two days. Family walks have always been a huge part of our life and we're so excited to tackle this challenge together.  
Mum is an absolute trooper who refuses to be held down or restricted by her illness. She pops into the hospital for chemo and quite often drags her friends/the family for a walk all in one day. 

This will certainly be a challenge and will be the longest we have walked since Mum started her most recent round of chemo. Please spare a little bit of change and help us support Breast Cancer Now in finding a cure for this terrible illness. 

Thankyou x
