My Updates

Goal update #7

Friday 19th Mar
Day 19.  I can’t believe how near to £2000 I am! Thank you so so much to everyone who has donated! Some days have been really hard and on those days I’ve went on the treadmill at home a few minutes at a time until I reached 2k.  On good days like today I’ve really enjoyed the walking.  It certainly helps when the sun is shining!   

Goal update #6

Saturday 13th Mar

I thought I’d do a wee update since we are almost 1/2 way through the month.   When I started this challenge I was on weekly chemo and had hoped to stay on chemo for a couple of years (or more) as others had managed to.  Unfortunately after only 22 weeks the chemo did all it could do and I had to start a different treatment  just yesterday.   Having to start a new treatment is a big deal for someone with secondary breast cancer as the treatment options aren’t infinite and another of my treatment options has been ticked off.  


Research into secondary breast cancer is underfunded. Make 2nds Count’s mission is to fund secondary breast cancer research which contributes to advancing an increased quality of life for patients. 


Any donations are much appreciated, every little helps.   Thanks again to all those who have already donated 💙

Goal update #5

Friday 5th Mar
Well we totally smashed through another goal! Thank you so much!  I was going to update it to £1500 but I’m so close to that I’ll go for £1600 🙈

The first  2 days of the challenge went fairly well although I did struggle the second half both days.    This resulted in a bit of pain from overdoing it.   I knew it wasn’t going to be easy!  So the last 2 days I have walked on my treadmill at home , doing it in manageable chunks till I hit the 2k.   Pain seems to have calmed again so lesson learned!  Only 26 more walks to go 😩😩😩.  Every pound donated to this much needed charity is appreciated  ♥️

Goal update #4

Monday 1st Mar
Day 1 today and again I’ve gone way past  my last goal! I’m over the moon at reaching and totally smashing the £1000 target set.   Unbelievable! 😀 Thank you so much to everyone who has donated it really makes me determined to do this as I don’t want to let anyone down.    I went for a downhill walk today so it was a bit easier on me but I still found it difficult especially near the end.  1 of 31 days done! 

31 people die every day in the UK from secondary breast cancer.  This figure was on my mind a lot while walking.

 Make 2nds Count  is a non-profit organisation raising funds to support research specifically into secondary breast cancer. The research will work towards extending and improving the quality of life for people living with this currently treatable but incurable disease.   

Goal update #3

Friday 26th Feb
Over £800 in  the first day of fundraising!!  I can barely keep up with notifications  and I’m totally overwhelmed at the support and generosity of not only my family and friends but friends of theirs too, some I don’t even know! I’m so so humbled by this.   I’ve changed my target again to £1000.  If I could reach this that would be amazing! I never thought I’d raise as much as I have already and I haven’t even done anything yet! Thank you all so much.   It’s really putting fire in my belly and I will do this knowing how much support I have behind me.  Thank you all so much xxx.  

Goal update #2

Thursday 25th Feb
I’m absolutely blown away at the donations coming in the first 24 hours! ! Thank you so much everyone I really appreciate it so much.   Can’t believe I’m having to change the target  again on only the first day! You are all awesome!  I’ll be honest I’m worried I’ve bit off more than I can chew but I’ll have to do it now lol!   Roll on Monday to get started.   It’s all for such an amazing charity & good cause.   Thank you so much to everyone who has made this amazing total possible so far.   Much love xxxx 

Goal Update #1

Thursday 25th Feb
Well in less than 8 hours I’ve smashed my first target of £200 and I’m almost at £300 already! I’m totally overwhelmed.  Thank you so much to all those who’ve donated so far.  I appreciate it so much! I’m feeling a bit wary but no going back now! 

My Story

Thursday 25th Feb
I was diagnosed with primary breast cancer in March 2012.  In February 2017, just short  of my  ‘5 years cancer free’ milestone I was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer.   I have been on treatment since then and will be for the rest of my life.    Some of the well known mainstream charities put very little funding into secondary research, yet 1 in 3 who have  a primary diagnosis WILL end up with a secondary diagnosis.   Please look at where your hard earned money actually goes when you donate to a charity.   31 people die every day in the UK  from secondary breast cancer.  We need more research into this and fast.   I appreciate there are a lot of fundraisers out there and you can’t donate to everyone but please consider helping this  charity.   Every little helps.   Thank you so much for reading my post  xx
