VIRGIN LONDON MARATHON

Kara Goyal is taking part in the London Marathon this year, in aid of Cotswold Breakthrough Breast Cancer. Commenting on her amazing challenge Kara said:

"There's not a day that goes past when I remember how lucky I am to have my Mum, Cheryl Miller here. She was diagnosed with breast cancer over ten years ago and after an invasive surgery and gruelling courses of chemo and radiotherapy she fought the disease against the odds. There were many dark days but these were won over by her strength and positivity.

She and my Dad, David Miller, now sit on the committee of Cotswold Breakthrough Breast Cancer and work to raise money for this charity to fund ground breaking research into more effective treatments and the development, one day, of a cure.

I would like to support them and many others by running the London Marathon this April.

Thanks so much in advance. I am very grateful for your kind donation, it will be with me as I run and run... and run... (let's hope I get round!)

Touch of Tartan & Tiaras Ball

Guests of Cotswold Breakthrough Breast Cancer enjoyed the Touch of Tartan & Tiara’s Ball held on Happy St Andrews Day at Cotswold Water Park Four Pillars Hotel. The event raised an amazing £4,000 for Cotswold Breakthrough Breast Cancer. 

Following a Champagne reception kindly sponsored by Chateaux Wines, the evening was an opportunity to raise funds and celebrate the great work of Breakthrough Breast Cancer. Professor Anthony Howell, former director of the Manchester Breast Centre and Breakthrough Breast Cancer Research Unit highlighted some of pioneering research that the money raised is funding. 

Patrons of the charity, Laurence and Jackie Llewelyn-Bowen, raised excitement and led the auction to ensure that the best prices were achieved for the very generous and unique sponsored auction items, supported by award winning comedienne Cerys Nelmes. The party then danced until the early hours to the fantastic Manhattan Nights band.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, with around 50,000 women and around 400 men diagnosed each year. It is thought to be caused by a combination of genes, lifestyles and life choices, and things in our surrounding environment. Guests were urged to remember the Breakthrough TLC mantra ‘Touch Look Check’ as the earlier breast cancer is diagnosed the better the chances of beating it. The diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer is improving all the time and we are now seeing more women than ever surviving the disease. Five out of six women diagnosed with breast cancer survive for at least five years.

Sadly the founder of Cotswold Breakthrough Breast Cancer, Eira Hooper was not one of the lucky ones. When she was diagnosed with this hideous disease in 2005 she decided with her friend Amanda Homan-Green to do something positive to help create a future free from the fear of breast cancer for their daughters and future generations.  Glasses were raised in memory of all those lost to this disease, and together they continue the fight that Eira started.

This is the 8th year of Cotswold Breakthrough Breast Cancer who  have had a busy year fundraising. Thanks were given to the wonderful and dedicated patrons (Laurence & Jackie Llewelyn-Bowen) and committee members (Cheryl & David Miller, Justine Reynolds, Jan North, Ann Smith, Veronique Kennedy, Anne-Sophie Collard, Liz Cannon-Fuller, Jerry and Amanda Homan-Green) who all volunteer their time tirelessly and without whom none of this would be possible. Thanks to all who supported this charity.
