Story

Hi, we are team RockWell and we are gonna take a wee wander in September for Breast Friends and Family ......as you know we are Lana and Sarah-Jane , friends since we were 3 :-) and we are team RockWell.....cos when i couldnt be there in person, i sent Sarah-Jane a Dwayne the Rock Johnson action figure.....we spent far too many sleepovers watching WWE growing up....Dwayne joined her for every treatment...real Dwayne if you read this, can she have a hug? .....Well - simply because we grew up together in Ladywell.
We have chosen Breast Friends and Family because as you know , my best friend has breast cancer and these guys have been a valuable support , especially when friends don't have the answers....they are a small charity but make a massive difference.

About the charity

Breast Friends and Family support breast cancer patients at St John’s Hospital in Livingston, through diagnosis, treatment and recovery; to provide the little things that make a big difference. Breast Friends and Family has been setup by Hazel, her sister Mandy, mother Sylvia and daughter Holly. Hazel was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2015 which shocked the family but the challenges this diagnosis brought were faced with a steely determination to keep life going as normal and provide Hazel with the support she needed through treatment and recovery. The family realised that patients are supported by a number of cancer charities, each one giving additional support that patients are not even aware that they need. They began fund raising, by dancing, running, walking, knitting, sewing and organising events in support of many cancer charities. Hazel was given lots of support from a local charity based at St John’s Hospital in Livingston. As she recovered she wanted to help and support this local charity so that others like her, having a breast cancer diagnosis, were helped in the way that she was. Sadly this charity is no longer running. Hazel and her family and friends are now determined to make sure that all patients diagnosed with breast cancer at St John’s, are given the kind of help they don’t even realise they need. Providing the little things that make a big difference.
