I'm taking part in 'Step up for The House of Hope' 5K a Day Any Way this August. This cause means a lot to me because I have lost a number of friends and family to various forms of the C-word over the years including breast cancer.

Good luck for the rest of the month Kate!

Lisa, who was diagnosed with incurable secondary breast cancer in 2017, wants to create the first dedicated support service in Scotland for those living with the disease.

Kickstarting our #BricksOfHope campaign, to raise £500,000 to acquire a property on St John's Road, Edinburgh.

This property will serve as the future home of The House of Hope Scotland, a bespoke breast cancer support and wellbeing centre— the first of its kind in Scotland

What a woman! We could not be any prouder of Aileen who has made it to Everest base camp!

Taking on this challenge is physically demanding but adding in Aileen’s own diagnosis with secondary breast cancer has added extra complexity to this trek.
