Jan Thomson

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I’m taking part in The Pink Star Walk to raise money for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.

Eight women a day are diagnosed with breast cancer in New Zealand. The money raised from my walk will be used to fund vital research projects and support women recovering from and living with breast cancer in New Zealand.
It costs just $40 to fund 2 hours of home care or provide 4 cooked meals for someone living with secondary breast cancer. Please consider donating $40 today so we can help improve the quality of life for hundreds of New Zealand women.

On the 25th February 2016 I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I was lucky I caught it early, had a mastectomy and so today I am very very grateful to still be here with all you my family and friends. My step-sister Laura Igbinosun was diagnosed one month after me, she had a more aggressive disease, she fought for a year and beat the cancer but sadly died in her sleep at the age of 36.

I am walking for Laura and dedicating this walk to her.
