Story

Help Me Support Black Women Rising – Just £1 a Month Can Change a Life 💕

Nine years ago, I stood beside my dear friend Leanne Pero when she heard the words that no one ever wants to hear: “You have cancer.” What came next was not only her own fight for survival, but also the birth of something extraordinary, Black Women Rising, a charity that has since become a lifeline for countless Black women navigating cancer.

I’ve quietly supported this movement for years, cheering, helping to try and secure brand support, and encouraging others. But now, I want to do more. I want to use my voice loudly to ensure this vital work continues.

Here’s the truth: even £1 a month can make a real difference.

⚫️ = It can give dignity and comfort to women at the end of life.

⚫️ - It can offer practical and emotional support to those just beginning their cancer journey.

⚫️ - It ensures no woman feels invisible or unheard when facing the hardest battle of her life.

Every single pound adds up to hope, care, and life-changing support.

Please join me. By committing as little as £1 a month, you’re not just donating, you’re standing with Black women through cancer. You’re saying, “You are not alone.”

Together, we can make a powerful difference – one pound, one month, one woman at a time.
