We just had to share this.π
When Natalie was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, her son Jude was only six years old. Like many parents, she hoped he was too young to fully understand what was happening.
But years later, in Year 4, Jude was asked to write about his "Pivotal Moment". At just 10 years old, he chose to write about his mum's breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
His words are a powerful reminder that breast cancer affects entire families, not just the person diagnosed. β€οΈ
Having faced breast cancer twice, 20 years apart, Natalie's second diagnosis was triple negative breast cancer - an aggressive form of the disease with fewer treatment options available.
This tax time, we're aiming to raise $505,000 by 30 June to support the OPT-Pembro clinical trial.
The trial will investigate whether some people with triple negative breast cancer can safely receive less treatment while achieving the same outcomes - helping to reduce the long-term impact of treatment while maintaining its effectiveness.
Every donation brings us closer to better, kinder treatment options for people diagnosed with breast cancer.
