It is with profound sadness that we share the heartbreaking news that our beloved founder, Jo Taylor, died early on Monday morning surrounded by her husband Jeff, and two children, Regan and Faron.

Jo was a tireless advocate, a fearless campaigner and a beacon of hope for those living with metastatic breast cancer. Diagnosed with primary breast cancer in 2007 and with metastatic breast cancer in 2014, Jo dedicated her life to changing the narrative around MBC. She founded METUPUK and created the powerful #BusyLivingWithMets movement to show the world that people with MBC are living, thriving and worth the investment. 

Jo’s legacy is one of courage and unwavering determination. Her work has touched countless lives both here in the UK and around the world. From her advocacy and public speaking to the creation of the red flag signs and symptoms infographics, she undoubtedly paved the way to empower others to find their voice. 

She championed change with unwavering resolve and spoke with unflinching honesty. Jo’s voice lives on; her messages echo louder than ever: we demand change. 

Our thoughts are with Jo’s family, friends, and the entire MBC community. She will be deeply missed and absolutely never forgotten. 

She had the heart of a lioness. Rest in power, Jo 💔

Using sunbeds increases your risk of getting skin cancer. There is no safe way to use a sunbed. Do not use a sunbed to treat skin conditions such as acne, eczema or psoriasis - talk to your GP, they can refer you to a dermatologist for advice.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in Ireland and the number of people being diagnosed with skin cancer is rising rapidly. Yet skin cancer is largely preventable by protecting skin from UV rays and not using sunbeds.
