I shall be aiming to walk 100 plus miles of the Thames footpath in September, culminating in a group walk by members friends and family of OBBG over the last weekend of September.

For those of you who don’t know me, I work closely with a breast cancer surgeon who founded the OBBG and whom has brought me onboard the charity as a trustee.

Cancer can be an isolating and frightening experience and the Oxford Breast Buddy Group (OBBG) is an Oxford based group supporting anyone affected by breast cancer. Group members all have personal experience of breast cancer and, whilst experiences differ from person to person, we all recognize the need for extra help that cannot always be met by the health services. We aim to offer psychological and practical support to those who have had or are undergoing treatment for breast cancer. The group formed at the beginning of 2015 and registered as a charity in May 2016.
