Fashion Targets Breast Cancer 2016

Cancer is something that I think is safe to say will affect everyone. Whether it’s you who becomes ill yourself, or a family member, friend, or colleague, no one is safe from this horrible illness. When I was 13, I was very poorly with my basilar type migraine & there was a period of time when I wasn’t able to go to school. I spent the mornings at my Nanna’s whole my Mum went to work. During this time, my Great Aunt was very poorly & being treated for breast cancer. She moved in so my Nanna could care for her. It was horrible seeing her so poorly. She died as a result of her breast cancer. There are so many conditions that we need research into, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis & cancer. Shopping the Fashion Targets Breast Cancer 2016 collection is one way you can support & provide vital funds for Breast Cancer Now’s vital research.
