I'm hoping to raise funds for an Edinburgh based charity called Make 2nds Count. Make 2nds Count was established in Edinburgh in 2018 dedicated to giving hope to women and men living with secondary breast cancer. It's been a huge support to me and my Mum.
My Mum was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016. Her cancer had spread and this meant that she would never be cured. She goes to hospital every 3 weeks for her cancer treatment and has gone through several operations, rough chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It's very hard for her sometimes but I'm so proud of how she's coped ❤️
This charity is amazing, it’s funded some incredible initiatives that really help people with this horrible disease:
- financial support during Covid
- awareness campaign on prolific billboards across the UK
- dedicated trials nurses to help patients identify and choose future treatment lines
The charity are co-funding a new study focusing on the spread of HER2+ secondary breast cancer to the brain. This is the type of breast cancer that my Mum has so it is of specific interest to us.
Please share and donate if you can.
