On 7th September 2022, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and life changed forever. During that appointment when I struggled to comprehend what anyone was saying to me, my lovely Breast Care nurse gave me a Breast Friends folder with a notebook and pen in it so that I could write things down. Little did I know then that that purple folder would soon be stuffed with appointment letters and the notebook would be full of my endless lists of questions. It was the start of the amazing support of Breast Friends, a local breast cancer charity set up to support ladies going through breast cancer treatment at St Johns hospital. They paid for my eyebrow tattoos, gave me a handmade wooly hat and head scarf when I lost my hair, mastectomy pillow and bras after surgery, gift voucher at Christmas, a ticket for the Santa tram for Christopher and myself and lots more little things that made a huge difference at such a horrendous time.

So this year on 26th May which is my 42nd birthday, I am running in the Edinburgh marathon relay with my amazing husband, family and friends to try to raise some money for Breast Friends so that they can continue to do the amazing work that they do.

If you can spare a few pounds to allow Breast Friends to continue making the lives of breast cancer patients that little bit easier then I would be forever grateful.
