After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, I called on the support of my husband, son, family and friends to help me through a difficult time in my life on the road to recovery. I really wanted to establish some way to raise funds not only to help others combat the disease, but also to provide greater awareness of cancer in all its forms to both the young and old. I therefore decided to set up Lunch4Life with the help and much valued assistance of some of my very close near and dear friends who make up the committee. Initially, Lunch4Life’s primary focus was to generate funds for the improvement of breast cancer facilities in our local hospitals, in the hope that the money we raised could provide better treatment and care for those diagnosed. We endeavour to carry on fundraising for this worthy cause.
