My BCN e-mailed me yesterday re., sponsorship I’m trying to help her raise for bike ride across Cambodia for Breast Cancer Care…I think the following lines she wrote are very appropriate and highlight, yet again that Breast Cancer Care are a wonderful charity…
Breast Cancer Care do such great work and provide us with all the extra support and written information which paitents and Breast care nurses rely on so much…

Yes BCC do many great things but one of my my feelings about them as a charity is that they are very slow to respond to ideas for initatives. an example: I have been trying unsuccessfully for 3 years now to get a lefalet specifically on triple negative breast cancer…just a simple factsheet…one to provide the information in an area with a gaping great hole. They’re still having meetings about it. Others can speak of the slow response rates in other areas.
These days I am choosy about who I give charity money to…yes to some of the big cancer charities and yes to local centres…hopsirces, cancer support centres. I am currently rewriting my will and removing modest bequests to both BCC and Brealthrough in favour of other charities.
Nevertheless good luck on your friend’s’ bike ride and hope she raises a lot of money…which isn’t then spent on upgrading the on line support system to provide another long awaited non private messaging system.
best wishes
