Story
We are a group of supporters who have come together to raise money for all things breast cancer care for women and men undergoing some form of breast cancer treatment at Warrington and Halton hospitals.
The group was started by Pat McLaren who was diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2020. She's on the chemo/surgery/radiotherapy journey now but remembers well that sickening diagnosis in the breast screening unit. The unit offers amazing diagnostics and kind, compassionate care, but could do so much more with those 'above and beyond' things that the NHS doesn't fund. For example:
- First fit post-op bras at circa £58 each are provided by WHH Charity - so that ladies can have their prosthesis properly fitted at first appointment whether they can afford a mastectomy bra or not.
- Men get breast cancer too, but have to sit with all the ladies waiting for their results in a female dominated environment. Imagine having their own waiting space, where they can deal with what might follow away from inquiring glances...
- and so much more...
Everyone is welcome to join the group - and do feel free to be make it as crazy or as challenging as you wish - but please commit to fundraising as we've got a lot of 'above and beyond' love to create! To enquire about the Snowdon Trek please contact Helen Higginson at WHH Charity on 01925 662666 email helen.higginson1@nhs.net and ask to be added to the Moobs and Boobs group.
