Story

On 30th March, I was diagnosed with Lobular breast cancer, a cancer I had never even heard of.

 Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer (ILC) is the 2nd most common type of breast cancer, yet ILC currently has no specific treatment. 

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London believe with more funding specifically for lobular breast cancer research, they could fully understand the biology of ILC. This is the vital next step to getting the specific treatment needed to improve outcomes. 

Dr. Susan Michaelis launched the 'Lobular Moon Shot Project' on 25 May 2023, one month after my cancer surgery.The project seeks to raise £20,000,000 for a 5 year research project  into ILC by ICR. 

As part of my treatment I will have 16 weeks of chemotherapy. To raise funds for the Lobular Moon Shot Project, I aim to walk 112 miles; 1 mile each day of my treatment. I have an amazing back up team of walkers for days I am too unwell to walk! 

Thank you for supporting me to raise funds to try and find specific treatments for my cancer.
