Raising money for Make 2nds Count

Make 2nds Count is dedicated to making people living with secondary breast cancer count. We do this by raising funds to support specialist research into secondary breast cancer, extending and improving the quality of life for patients battling against this treatable yet incurable disease.

Story

With charities suffering a big blow due to Covid, I wanted to do something that not only helps my fitness but that raises money and awareness for a charity close to my heart. Make Seconds Count is a charity that offers help, support and research into people with secondary, incurable cancer like myself.

So the aim is to cycle/walk/run the distance from my front door in Preston, England to my sisters front door in Melbourne, Australia.

My sister was also diagnosed with breast cancer and was due to come to be my maid of honour for our wedding this year....which sadly didn’t happen due to COVID-19.

So let’s make it happen virtually! And once we’ve gotten to Australia, the world is our oyster! We can keep on going ❤️

Register on JustGiving and join my group to raise as much funds as possible. I am asking that everyone who gets involved is fundraising, otherwise it could turn every man, woman, child and dog getting involved and nothing being raised!

LET’S DO THIS!!!

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!
