“When you’re diagnosed with breast cancer, you can feel like you’re on your own. Having people around you who understand and knowing where to turn for support is vital - like I could with Breast Cancer Now. “A few months after I was diagnosed, I met Deanne at a local support group. She had a primary breast cancer diagnosis. Over the last 10 years, we’ve supported each other through the highs and lows. “We like to fundraise for Breast Cancer Now every year. Knowing we’re giving back and helping others going through a breast cancer diagnosis is so important to us. “Deanne and I have held 6 Afternoon Teas. We love hosting Afternoon Teas and have lots of fond memories. We’re looking forward to getting tea number 7 booked in this summer. “Baking doesn’t come naturally to me but as I’ve got older, I’ve learnt to enjoy and work hard at it. My signature dish is a lemon posset, but my first lot for Afternoon Tea stuck to the bottom of the pan – so I’ve learnt a lot since then! “From my breast cancer experience I have learned the value of time. Afternoon Tea gives me the opportunity to celebrate with all the closest people in our lives. We share good food and drink and spend time together, making memories to cherish. “I’m very lucky to have supportive family and friends that have been there throughout my breast cancer journey and who remain by my side today.” – Annette, one of our incredible supporters
