I have chosen to make a difference
I have chosen to Give it Up for Breast Cancer. By taking part, I am challenging myself to go without for one month.
I want a world where there are ZERO deaths from breast cancer. I believe every death from breast cancer is one too many. To achieve this, I’m raising funds for more research. All donations made to this page will help do exactly that.
Click 'Donate' to make a secure online donation and help me reach my goal. Every donation, big or small, will help me get there. Please donate today.
All donations over $2 are tax-deductible and you will be issued with a tax-deductible receipt via email as soon as you make your donation.
Thank you so much for your support!

Breast Cancer during Covid
Saturday 11th Sep July 14th 2020 I had my first mammogram. There was no reason. We weren't looking for anything. No lumps, bumps or concerns. Only that my maternal grandmother had breast cancer and I wasn't far off 50. DCIS Ductal Carcinoma in situ was diagnosed. Very early in terms of BC but treatment was mastectomy. Six weeks after my first mammogram I had a mastectomy, on my own. No visitors. The nbcf was a life saver during diagnosis, treatment and recovery. ShareThank you to my Supporters
