Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

It’s taken me 6 months to build the courage to openly share my story. I am hoping that by doing so, I can help raise awareness for other ladies and also generate vital funds that can help Breast Cancer Now fund research and treatment and importantly support ladies battling breast cancer.

Also when I look at my journey I’d like to think about what I have achieved as opposed to what I went through (in addition to kicking cancers ass and staying alive)

So here is my story in my way

The Journey

Way way before ChatGPT was here

I’ve been using poetry to help my mind to clear

I’ve shared joys, celebrations and calendar days

I’ve sent love and thanks in my rhyming Ways

So this the platform in which my story I’ll tell

Of why for me why there’s a new significance of ringing a bell

For in may last year I was delivered quite a blow

As breast cancer for me made a show

Surgery, chemo, radiation, ongoing meds and care

Fear, worry, pain and losing my hair

I completed my chemo in December 2025

A gruelling medicine but it kept me alive

Radiation therapy is what followed that

All my treatment thankfully hidden by a colourful hat

I’ve fought this battle and tried to be brave

Quietly was the only path I could pave

It’s a tough 12 months for anyone to bear

My champion supporters you showed you care

My friends and my family you know who you are

My steadfast rock and 7 times a star

I want to give hope and support to other ladies out there

Who are feeling frightened and like “this just isn’t fair”

The treatment is brutal on your body and mind

And often you need someone who is more than just kind

Breast Cancer Now is a charity that offers some peace

With bonafide advice that can bring welcomed release

So im sharing my story and holding a charity event

To support breast cancer patients and also prevent

An afternoon tea in august I shall host

Cus those who know me know I love cake the most

Im Overwhelmed by the support as the tickets are all gone

But there is so much more that can be done

I’m asking if you can support get ladies back on the mend

I’d be so grateful of a few quid you can send

Breast cancer now needs our support

Can you help please, just give it a thought
