Breast Cancer Care |
|
|
|
Breast Cancer Care works hard to provide the best information and support for people affected by breast cancer across the UK. W4CR has provided £3,000 to help fund their care services. All five W4CR trustees had the pleasure of meeting Sarah Hughes of Breast Cancer Care at the Inn on the Beach, Hayling Island. It was great to hear from Sarah so much about Breast Cancer Care and her work there, and at an emotional time and place for us. We were at the Inn on the Beach, Hayling Island; our late Chairman David Tuttlebee's favourite windsurfing location, a reminder to us of what we are trying to achieve in supporting organisations such as Breast Cancer Care who help so many people.
See www.breastcancercare.org.uk/about-us to learn more about the work of Breast Cancer Care, a free nationwide service.
Breast Cancer Care have a superb range of leaflets and publications that can be downloaded or ordered from this link given that the majority of windsurfers are blokes - here is one just for you "In it Together".
