FORMING A BREAST CANCER FIGHTING FUND

WE NEED YOUR HELP

Ladies Fighting Breast Cancer is entirely financially reliant on donations, fundraising and funding. Despite this, our small charity has made huge impacts delivering critical care in the community to more than 500 women and men every year, whilst also raising more than £1.5million for the QE Hospital Trust over the past two decades.

The charity, whose patron is Lord Digby Jones of Birmingham, was created in June 2000, by Chief Operating Officer Veronica Kumeta, who wanted to support her best friends’ fight against breast cancer.

Spurred on by her grief and sheer determination to increase awareness and treatment success rates, Veronica and her small team of volunteers focused heavily on fundraising specifically to purchase specialist equipment for the QE.

Since then LFBC has raised more than £1.5m, funding two mobile mammogram units, including the UK’s first ever bright pink one.

Funds raised by LFBC have also been used to purchase high-specification, leading edge equipment; an investment which supports the QE’s position as a Centre of Excellence for breast cancer diagnosis.

HUGS-IN-A-BAG

Attending your first chemotherapy or radiotherapy session can be extremely daunting. Especially if you have to attend alone.

That’s why we created our Hug-In-A-Bag initiative. We wanted to create a useful, practical resource which would provide everything a woman and man might need during these aggressive, yet critically important treatments.

For information please text 07786 868929 or email info@lfbc.org.uk
