Supporting Claire to receive the life saving treatment (pembrolizumab) she needs to fight and survive breast cancer.

Wellington

At just 35 hearing the words ' you have breast cancer' comes as a big shock!

What makes it even harder is that one of the treatments that is needed to fight this terrible disease is not funded at all. The treatment increases Claire's survival rate significantly and taking a chance without isn't actually an option. Claire is a single mother to a 15 year old boy and is determined to beat cancer for him, for herself and for all the people who love and care about her, Claire is about to start fighting this with everything she has! She really needs support to get this life saving treatment and we are doing everything we can to help make sure she does.
