Libbi's fundraiser for BRCA+ Chat

Libbi Jones is raising money for BRCA+ Chat

10K Steps Daily and 10K Run Weekly

Our charity BRCA+ Chat supports individuals impacted by BRCA (or other) gene mutations. These mutations make them a higher risk to genetic cancer. We raise awareness, and provide support for mutants (and their family and friends). We want people to be aware of their options and to know there is help out there, with our marvellous community :)

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2021, I was diagnosed with the BRCA 2 mutation. At the time I have no clue what it was and why it was me who had it. In time, after reading different blogs, listening to different podcasts and doing my own research, I accepted this and changed my whole lifestyle. My sister Leigh, was also diagnosed with the BRCA 2 gene at the same time as me. In February, my amazing sister was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I wanted to raise even more awareness for this mutation and donate to a charity who are there for people to read blogs, go to events, and offer an ear to listen to when you are going through such a difficult time, also to raise awareness to people who have never heard of it. I am going to be walking 10,000 steps a day and also completing 10K run over each week for the month of June- fitness has become such an outlet for me to deal with my emotions and what better way to raise money for a great charity.
