About

 

Foundation info: I have never stood on a skateboard before, but with coaching from my son in law I plan to land my first POP SHUVIT on the 10th of July, which also happens to be my 69th birthday!

I am a wife, a mum, a nana and I have breast cancer. After my diagnosis in 2018 I learned that one in eight women will go on to develop breast cancer in their lifetime, a disease having a huge and devastating impact on the women themselves and their families and friends.
I have so many questions about my cancer; foremost, what happened to turn healthy cells in my breast to malignant tumours that are potentially life-threatening? After visiting Professor Valerie Speirs and learning about her work in breast cancer research at the University of Aberdeen, I'm excited that one day breast cancer will be a disease that many more men and women will live with rather than die from. How exciting is that?
I receive incredible medical care, including the most sophisticated chemotherapy drugs tailored to my particular cancer. They are extremely expensive. Now it's pay back time. I want to raise at least ÂŁ10000 for a local breast cancer charity. The work conducted by Prof Speirs and her team is a perfect way for me to contribute to research that will impact on countless people.

If you choose to donate online your contribution will go into the University of Aberdeen's Development Trust Fund, and from there into the Breast Cancer Research Programme.

Thank you for your support.

What's up

68-Year-Old Woman Learning To Skate To Fight Cancer Two years ago, Scotland's Elaine Shallcross was diagnosed with breast cancer. After some rounds of promising chemotherapy treatments in 2019, the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes. To raise funds for her medical bills, Shallcross embarked on a campaign that went viral (in the best way): #shuvitcancer. Learn about this cause, and Shallcross's brave personal quest for an NBD—which has captured the hearts of pros like Daewon Song, Andrew Brophy, Tony Hawk, and Torey Pudwill—in our profile.
