Giving hope to those affected
by secondary breast cancer
We are delighted to announce the launch of our inspiring Tree of Hope for the second year, as part of ‘Make Christmas Count'
Every Christmas tree has special baubles that are cherished and we need your help to decorate our Tree of Hope to support those with secondary breast cancer.
There are lots of different ways to hang your bauble to help. Our real and virtual baubles are available to purchase and can include your own message of hope, which will appear virtually, for all to see on our Tree of Hope.
Make 2nds Count is a patient and family focused charity dedicated to giving hope to women and men living with secondary breast cancer.
We strive to do this by raising awareness and funding medical research that will contribute to advancing an increased quality of life for patients. Our community programme supports patients and families affected by this incurable disease.
Secondary breast cancer, also known as metastatic, advanced or stage IV breast cancer, is a cancer that has spread beyond the breast to other parts of the body. Parts of the body affected are usually the bones, liver, lungs, brain or the skin.
Secondary breast cancer can be treated but it cannot be cured. Treatments aim to control and slow down the disease to enable patients to have the best possible quality of life for as long as possible.
Join us at our inaugural in-person Tea & A Chat event in Newcastle.
