Strong Girls Club are taking part in PinkRibbonWalk2026-HamptonCourtPalace

In March 2025, my sister Meera was diagnosed with primary breast cancer at the age of 37. What followed was 9 months of aggressive treatment - 16 rounds of chemotherapy, a surgery, and 20 rounds of radiotherapy. Now, she is facing at least 7 years of further drugs and treatment to keep the cancer away. She has been incredibly brave, and is a real inspiration to all who are fighting - and will fight - this disease.

For this reason, my sister and I are taking part in the Pink Ribbon Walk for Breast Cancer Now, to raise money for world-class research and life-changing care for anyone affected by breast cancer. By 2023 it is estimated that 1.2 million women will be living with this disease.

And that's why we are doing this, and asking for you to donate whatever you can. For me, for you, for all the women (and men) - past and present - who are affected by this horrible and life threatening disease.

Thank you.
