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

Picture the scene, it’s October 2024 and as part of my “you’re 30, say yes!” era, I crazily said yes to joining a friend in the Hampton Court Half Marathon in March 2025. Sounds fun, I said! Some loose training towards Couch to 5K commences… it’s wet, it’s cold, Christmas comes, and then January lands and you think, SHIT! I’ve actually got to do this 😅

I’m not an athlete, nor a natural runner. I’ve never done anything like this before and yet I’m giving it a bloody good go and here’s why..

Last year our world lost a very special person. Sarah Edmundson was an incredibly kind, supportive and warm person who you couldn’t help but adore. Until the end she was also an incredible champion for raising awareness and funds so that others might have a cure for the breast cancer with which she suffered. Suffered without fuss, and battled hard against.

I have two boobs of my own, and I’d be mightily fucked off if anything happened to them. So with Sarah’s memory, and plenty more boobs around the world to save, I’m strapping mine down and attempting to complete this challenge.

Any donation - big or small - will go such a long way to help in this fight.

So, from one Sarah for another, thank you 🩷

P.s, let’s hope Mark Darcy is waiting for me at the end!
