Press request: have you found support online
Hello everyone
We've been approached by a women's weekly magazine. They are looking to speak to a woman, aged over 30, who has found support online - in a forum, on Facebook, or even through Twitter - for breast cancer and/or depression. They are looking to speak to someone about the online friends she's made and the support they've given her - especially if you've never actually met in real life.
This piece would involve a 20-minute telephone interview. It is a magazine we've worked with before, and could be a chance to talk about the support you've found on the Breast Cancer Care forum, for example.
If you are interested at all, please email

There is a tight deadline on this, so you would need to email us by midday tomorrow (Wednesday). Apologies for the late notice. If you are interested in helping Breast Cancer Care with other media work do get in contact too.
Many thanks
