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 & taking the time to read my story

In 2011 I heard the worst sentence of my life "I'm sorry but you're here today for me to tell you that you have breast cancer" to say the wind was knocked out of my sails was an understatement

Two surgeries,15 sessions of radiotherapy therapy & 5 years on tamoxifen later I heard the best sentence I've ever heard from my oncologist "you are now officially in remission,go away,have a good life & I hope I never see you again"

Thanks to going for my mammogram mine was found early & thanks to the amazing work & research Breast Cancer Now does myself & many other people are able to receive the treatment & care we need to become breast cancer warriors

As a way of saying thank you & to raise vital funds my self & my colleagues at Boxes of Hope in Holbeach will be taking part in the We Wear Pink in October,along with a fundraising & day I will be walking 31 miles in October

Any donations,no matter how small will be gratefully received by myself & this amazing charity
