Story
On the 27th January, Rachel passed away from cancer. Her life was cut short in a most cruel way, but in the time she had she achieved so much. Rachel developed secondary breast cancer in 2022, but was determined to live for as long as she could and help support research into this disease.
Secondary breast cancer is breast cancer which has spread from the breast to other parts of the body. Although secondary breast cancer can be treated, there is no cure. Unlike those living with primary breast cancer, there is no end of treatment, there is no remission.
It’s estimated that 35,000 people are currently living with secondary breast cancer in the UK yet only 7% of the National funding for cancer goes towards this incurable disease. Make 2nds Count aim to address this imbalance.
Please give generously in Rachel's memory.
