Story

Help me raise money for the Breast Care Centre Llandough and the Velindre Victory Over Cancer Appeals

This is the Velindre Victory over Cancer Justgiving page, if you would like to donate to Breast Care Centre Llandough please visit www.justgiving.com/tieatopknot or text KNOT80 followed by your donation amount to 70070

In April 2012 I was diagnosed with breast cancer.  I underwent a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction which solved the problem.  However in October 2014 I discovered a new lump and am currently undergoing chemotherapy at Velindre which will be followed by radiotherapy.  Since my first diagnosis I have been hoping to raise funds for the Breast Care Centre at Llandough to say thank you for the truly amazing care they provide, however I have been waiting for the right challenge.  Inspiration came this Christmas when a friend donated a bag of scarves she had used during her chemotherapy.  She taught my nephew how to tie a turban that she had used and on Christmas night, during a family party, all of my lovely nieces and nephews and their partners took the scarves, started tying them in different ways and taking photographs.  We had so much fun I thought it would be a fun idea to challenge others to do the same and donate to the 2 special charities, who are not only looking after me but provide fantastic care for other cancer patients, Breast Care Centre Llandough and Velindre Victory over Cancer.
