No one should ever have to choose whether to pay their mortgage or pay for life-saving treatments.  No one should ever hear "You have cancer", without emotional support.  Our vision is that everyone diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer is supported. We aim to empower the hearts of those who are newly diagnosed with words of encouragement through Hope, Faith and Grace and provide critical support along the cancer journey and beyond.
