“7 Bridges Walk is a great chance to come together and fundraise in the hopes that sometime in the future, no one has to lose a loved one to cancer”
"Knowing what I know now, I'm keen to increase awareness about breast cancer in women my age and in similar circumstances and want to warn against 'explaining away' symptoms or 'soldiering on' with busy lives."
"7 Bridges Walk helped me to grieve for Dad in a positive way. I’m not the sort of person who wants to sit back and feel sad. And I know, Dad wouldn’t want me to do that. The walk gives me a chance to do something for others."
