Thanks for visiting this page.. my story began back in 2004 by chance my gp found a lump  I was 40 years old and thought  nooo  breast cancer  I am far too young after 2 weeks of worry my diagnosis was confirmed that started me on a chain of events in treatments the lumpectomy came first  then chemo and radiation therapy. followed by hormone receptor drugs.. I had two teenagers at home and a amazing partner in my mind My future had been snatched away from me but I got through it all... and have had 6 amazing years of getting on with my life supported by great family and friends.. then the bomb shell  in march 2010  It had returned  its still classed as breast cancer but its now having a ball in my lungs. so I am now a secondary  . not many people find it easy to think or discuss the return  of cancer  but we need to talk about it and breast cancer care is a great way of talking with others..  1 person  is diagnosed with breast cancer every  11 minutes . breast cancer care offers free support to each one of them as well as their friends and family. and last year helped 4,000 people through face to face services ..and raising money  means that they can  do this  and this is why I need your support  the NEWCASTLE 5 MILE CHALLENGE IS A FUN FAMILY FRIENDLY SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE FUNDRAISING EVENT ITS AT THE NEWCASTLE EXHIBITION PARK MARCH THE 20TH  CONTACT OR REGISTER AT  www.breastcancercare.org.uk/5mile
