Next April I'll be in London, lacing-up my trainers, pinning on my number, and attempting 26.2 miles of pavement-pounding for Flat Friends UK - the only UK charity dedicated to supporting women who have had (or are having/considering) a mastectomy without reconstruction, following a breast cancer diagnosis, or as preventative treatment.

As many of you know, following my initial diagnosis and first mastectomy (Jan 2021), I requested a symmetrising mastectomy which was refused. Flat Friends gave me the confidence, through knowledge and support, to successfully appeal my MDT's decision, and it was in this histology that my second primary breast cancer was found. My mammogram on that breast would not have been due for another 12 months, so, quite simply, Flat Friends may just have saved my life.

This charity is extremely important to me; an amazing community of inspiring women - all volunteers - that gave me hope when I needed it most. To this end I want to say 'Thank You!' and help them continue their incredible work.

Every single donation, big or small, will not only benefit the charity, but also fuel my miles and lift my spirits during my first ever marathon, so please, donate if you can, share if you can't, but cheer me on regardless - I'll need it! 🩷🩷🩷
