No-one should lose their mum at Christmas

"My mum was the strongest woman I have ever met."

In Australia, breast cancer kills a woman every two and a half hours. That’s nine lives lost every single day. Including Christmas Day. Because cancer doesn’t take a holiday.

For those who have lost a mother, daughter or sister at Christmas, it’s a time of sorrow and loss that they feel again and again, every Christmas for the rest of their lives.

People like Georgia. Georgia’s mum, Cathy, died of breast cancer on Christmas Day 2019.

“I remember almost praying that she wouldn’t die on Christmas Day. Any day but Christmas Day.

Right now, essential research is on the brink of discovering revolutionary new treatments that could stop breast cancer in its tracks – and save lives.

But that will only happen with your help.
