Story
Tom and I are thrilled to be running in the April 2025 London Marathon to support the incredible work of Breast Cancer Now.
Our goal is to raise £5,000, for this incredible charity that has supported us since my breast cancer diagnosis in 2023. It will go a long way in supporting men and women affected by breast cancer.
£60 – Could pay for 2 hours of world-class research. That’s 2 hours of progress. 2 hours closer to breakthroughs. And 2 hours closer to a world where everyone with breast cancer lives, and is supported to live well. Currently, there isn’t a cure for secondary breast cancer and this is one of the scariest realisations anyone who has had primary breast cancer has to deal with. LET’S FIND A CURE!
£50 - Could can help pay an expert speakers at a BCN event. I attended a young woman breast cancer event in Liverpool which was amazing. Having breast cancer as a young woman not only affects your health but hugely impacts on your fertility, career, body imagine and mental health. Having a safe space to talk about these issues with people who understand is invaluable.
£40 – Could buy 1,000 tiny test tubes, allowing researchers to experiment with small samples. These test tubes hold volumes of around a quarter of a teaspoon. Researchers use them for different types of experiments. RESEARCH IS POWER 💪
£30 – Could buy a specialist nurses' time to support someone through the helpline. This is a life line when you are trying to understand your cancer diagnosis and a service I have found incredibly supportive.
This is why we need to come together to BEAT BREAST CANCER and stop it ruining any more young women lives!
Tom and I are a brilliant team and we have realised we can get through anything life throws at us so, now it's time to tackle 42.2km!
We would be so grateful for any donations and for all your help and support :)
