Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I can't believe I've signed up to do the Henley half again - it's been over 5 + years since the last one or longer. Saying I'd never wanted to do that again! However...
I've decided to run the Henley half to support my girl friends who have been through breast cancer, some still having treatments and those starting it. Also, in memory of those we have lost along the way..
If you would like to donate & encourage me to get through my training over the next few weeks & to finish this challenge! It would be wonderful if you could donate even a small amount using the link below..
I've highlighted some key facts around this disease and what it will mean to the charity in receiving any donations we make:
- Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK.
- 1 in 8 women will face it in their lifetime and over half a million living in the UK have experienced a diagnosis.
- Survival rates for breast cancer have increased dramatically and over 80% of women who develop breast cancer will now live beyond 5 years, 40 years ago, it was only around half.
It will help researchers:
- Understand the causes of breast cancer and predict who is most at risk or developing the disease.
- Develop effective new treatments and find ways to prevent drug resistance.
- Identify which patients are most of risk of their breast cancer spreading, allowing us to help them sooner.
Thank you in advance! You are all wonderful in supporting me & breastcancernow.org
Lots of love
