💗 MY STORY. YOUR SUPPORT. OUR CAMPAIGN. 💗

Two years ago, at just 54, a routine mammogram changed my life. I had no lump, no symptoms and no idea cancer was there. Thankfully, it was found early.

I’m now two years in remission, and my experience has completely changed my outlook. I’m passionate about making sure people know their normal, check their breasts and attend their routine mammograms.

But there’s another reason CancerCare at Lancaster is so important to me — they supported me. ❤️

CancerCare sent me on a wellbeing course, connected me with Alexander Technique therapy, and gave me opportunities to rebuild my confidence and wellbeing after treatment.

And that support is still part of my life today. On a Monday, I join an online yoga session through Zoom, alongside other people affected by cancer and living with their own diagnoses. It’s more than yoga — it’s connection, understanding and knowing you’re not alone. 💕

That’s why I’m putting everything I can into October’s Big Bra Chain and Bra on the Bar campaign to raise awareness and support CancerCare.

And if you can’t donate a bra, have a bra on your bar or join us on the day, you can still be part of it. 🎀

A donation through my JustGiving page, however big or small, will help CancerCare continue providing the kind of support that helped me — and could help someone else facing the frightening words “you have cancer.”

£5 might seem small. But when lots of people give a little, it becomes something BIG.

So please, if you can, donate and know that you’re helping someone feel supported, connected and less alone. ❤️

You can’t always be there in person — but you can still make a difference.

🎀 Let’s make October count.

💕 You’re never too young to know your normal.

Thank you for being part of my journey. Vicki x
