10 years ago my mum Kay was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had a mastectomy and chemo. She had a complication know as a chemo leak in her hand and had to have numerous surgeries as well as a year of Physio. She was super strong and believed she would beat the sucker. She did and has been living well until January this year when she was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer with liver mets. Once again her strength was unfathomable. She went through another 6 rounds of chemo. She is amazing and I want to support her with something that will challenge my body. So I chose the longest sponsored walk... a marathon. Please help with your support to beat this disease. 

We need new treatments that target all types of secondary breast cancer cells before they have the chance to grow into tumours wherever they may be in the body.Secondary breast cancer is currently a managed disease; there is no cure. This is because it is impossible to know if every breast cancer cell that has moved from the breast has been targeted and destroyed. Some tumour types are resistant to treatments that are currently available and resistance can also develop over time.Against Breast Cancer is working with expert scientists at the University of Oxfords Glycoprotein Therapeutic Laboratory to investigate how to target treatment to secondary cancers. This will enable cancer-destroying drugs to be delivered specifically to secondary tumours before they grow and symptoms are experienced.
