This year in April, I became a survivor of this dreaded disease that effects 1 in 9 women every year, stealing lives well before their time. Breast cancer also effects 1 in 100 men and earlier detection is saving lives.
As October is Breast Cancer Awareness month I want to share Global Illumination with you , which is taking place worldwide. Help celebrate by making a donation where ever you are in the world and help save more lives and support the many different services to help breast cancer patients.

My personal charity is the McGrath Foundation who provide the wonderful and caring breast care nurses, who make the life changing difference to breast cancer patients on a daily basis. They made my journey a little easier.
