Fundraising and events
How your support helps
£2 pays for a headscarf set, helping to boost the confidence of a woman who has lost her hair as a result of her breast cancer treatment.
£52 pays for a personal appointment with our HeadStrong service to help women cope with the distress of hair loss from cancer treatment.
£132 pays to connect someone going through breast cancer with a trained volunteer who has had a similar experience to them and can provide one-to-one support and reassurance.
What we do
Cycletta – September and October 2012
About
Cycletta is a unique series of women-only, mass-participation cycle events on safely managed roads, aimed at inspiring female cyclists. There are a range of distances (listed below) providing a challenge for all abilities. Cycletta events are supported by Victoria Pendleton (Olympic Cycling Gold medalist) and British Cycling as part of their mission to encourage more women to take up cycling.
Entry benefits include ride rescue mechanics, bike checks and cleaning at the event village. Participants will receive a bumper goody bag and access to the pamper zone with manicure, massage and hair remedy after the ride!
Enter for your place in the ride, let us know and we’ll support you with your fundraising. Just contact us at: challenges@breastcancercare.org.uk
