My Breakthrough
TRUE STORY

Breakthrough Supporter
I wanted to raise funds that would go directly to research into the causes and hopefully the prevention of breast cancer
Wendy Gerraghty
Having had such tremendous support from family, friends and colleagues, I wanted to thank them. So for my 50th birthday, I decided to hold a party to celebrate my return to good health.
I invited everyone I knew and asked for donations for breast cancer research instead of presents. The night was a fantastic success; we had a disco and buffet at Shirley Community Centre and everyone was extremely generous, even those who couldn’t make it on the night kindly sent in donations by post.
We raised a fabulous £740.00 on the night and £420.00 was donated from Lloyds TSB Foundation where I’m employed. With some further money from my son Andrews school charity show, we raised a total of £1500.
