After the last Parkrun that Miss Tait informed us about.... she has invited YOU to join her on Saturday 14th September at Lister Park for another run/walk.
There is now so much evidence that weight loss, healthy diet and exercise can reduce the risk of breast cancer developing.
Parkrun is free, but you need to register at www.parkrun.org.uk and print out a barcode. Over 300 people usually turn up to Lister park, some people walk the whole course – you won’t be last.
After receiving a cancer diagnosis you may feel like nothing special.
Just remember......
A diamond doesn't start out polished and shining. It once was nothing special, but with enough pressure and time, becomes spectacular.
Be that diamond.
Lovely turn out tonight for H & L Fashions
HUGE Thanks to Helen for bringing some stock for us to buy 💕
FYI
A new group support group for all women, especially black, Asian, minority ethnic women, who have been affected by cancer. It's on 10 September from 10 am - 1pm at Manningham Library.There's a new support group starting in Bradford next month for all women, and especially Black, Asian Minority and Ethnic women who have been affected by cancer.
Come along and find someone who understands, and who can listen to your journey. Or perhaps you may like to express your story in poetry.
The group is organised by Sheena, who has experienced cancer herself.
This......There is, yet again, a facebook game doing the rounds, where you post a single heart on your wall to promote breast cancer prevention......
The person posting the ❤️ usually accompanies this with a private message to their female friends asking them to check their breasts.
Usually something like this.....“Hello, can you put a ❤ on your wall, without comment, only a heart, then send this message to your female contacts. After putting one ❤ on the wall of the person who sent you this message. If anyone asks why you have so many hearts on your wall do not answer. It is for women only to remember it’s the week of breast cancer prevention! ❤ Check your boobies!!”
HOWEVER, Instead of posting hearts on your wall to recognise Breast Cancer prevention, YOU CAN’T PREVENT IT, how about sharing this more practical post about being BREAST AWARE, checking your breasts saves more lives than posting a ❤
Cancer doesn't discriminate, young, old, men, women, get checking those breasts 😘

– dimpling on the skin of your breasts

– If any hard, painless lump appears near your nipples
– If your nipple begins to invert or turn in

In order to help practice what we should be preaching, Cathy Tait, one of our breast surgeons, would like to invite you all to join her, and hopefully lots of the team, to run Lister Park parkrun on Saturday 27th July at 9am.
For none-runners, it is over 10 weeks away, so get your trainers on and download the couch 2 5km app – the nights are light and the weather is good.
For the runners, please come along and set a PB!
Parkrun is free, but you need to register at www.parkrun.org.uk and print out a barcode. Over 300 people usually turn up to Lister park, some people walk the whole course – you won’t be last.
We had a lovely evening on our Mystery Trip last night.
The coach took us to Skipton and we boarded a Skipton Boat Trips barge for a cruise towards Silsden, with a 2 course meal too!
Back to Skipton for the coach back home again.
Wonder where next years outing will be.... suggestions via messenger welcome!!!
It’s hard when you first get a cancer diagnosis... but be strong... every new day is a fresh page in your life story 💕
