Story

Hi all. Our wee team is raising funds for in memory of our dear colleague and friend Eva, for a charity that was very close to her heart, Make 2nds Count. So to tie in with her love of The Proclaimers, we’re going to walk 500 miles in March! There are eight of us taking part so this averages at 62.5 miles each, which is a bit of a stretch given that we’re effectively still in lockdown for the first half of the month. But Eva always relished a challenge so here we go!

Secondary breast cancer is breast cancer which has spread from the breast to other parts of the body. Although secondary breast cancer can be treated, there is no cure. Unlike those living with primary breast cancer, there is no end of treatment, there is no remission. It’s estimated that 35,000 people are currently living with secondary breast cancer in the UK yet only 7% of the National funding for cancer goes towards this incurable disease. Make 2nds Count aim to address this imbalance.
