In 2019 my mum was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer that had spread to her lymph loads. Following the removal of 19 of her lymph nodes and a Mastectomy, she was given the all clear in 2022 and continues to grow in strength every day.

I cannot fault the time, kindness and the professionalism of the Oxford Cancer unit and the Doctors in Swindon Great Western. If it wasn’t for the fundraising that millions of us take part in, I truly do not think my mum would be with us now.

Every pound makes a difference to these amazing charities. I know times are hard and we are asked constantly to donate to charity so please anything will help and it is much appreciated.

with love, Matt , Jeanette and family
