When Anna was diagnosed with breast cancer, it came as a complete shock.
She hadn’t expected it. She wasn’t even in the usual age group for screening. But thanks to taking part in a clinical trial, her cancer was caught early – giving her the best possible chance of treatment and recovery.
That experience changed everything.
“It’s why I support Cobalt”
“It’s because of early detection that I’m here today,” Anna explains.
“That’s why supporting Cobalt means so much to me.”
The scans and research that made Anna’s diagnosis possible were supported by charities like Cobalt – organisations that rely on people like you to keep life-saving services available for everyone.
Turning experience into action
In the years since her diagnosis, Anna hasn’t just recovered – she’s given back.
For over 10 years, she has supported Cobalt through fundraising, bringing her local community together in creative and inspiring ways.
From school events to coffee mornings, her efforts have helped raise thousands of pounds – funding vital research, equipment, and diagnostic services that change lives every day.
“It’s amazing what can be achieved when people come together,” she says.
Why your support matters
Every week, people in our community rely on Cobalt for early diagnosis and life-changing care – just like Anna did.
But these services don’t fund themselves.
They depend on regular, unrestricted income to:
- Support early cancer detection
- Fund research that improves survival rates
- Provide vital scanning services in our community
