<div>On March 4th 2023 our beautiful brave and courageous daughter Sara Luise Sinclair passed away after fighting a fierce 3 year battle against Triple-negative breast cancer. A very aggressive type of breast cancer that is more difficult to treat .



</div>



<div> Drugs and therapies that are commonly used for other breast cancers may not work to treat TNBC and because of this it is more likely to spread to other organs and recur. 




</div>




<div>Before cancer Sara was energetic, athletic , vivacious and looking forward to living a full healthy life . She had plans on buying  her own home , advancing her career , starting a family ,traveling etc. All the things a young woman dreams of . All that changed in Jan 2020 when she discovered a small lump in her breast . Tests revealed she had one of the most aggressive types of breast cancer there is and is very hard to treat .She decided at that point to move back home to be with us so that we could best support her in this new and very scary journey . 



</div>



<div> Knowing this cancer was so aggressive her oncology team decided to throw everything at it She endured 3 years of Chemotherapy , immunotherapy , a double mastectomy , radiation, drugs that made her very sick and put her into early menopause plus numerous blood transfusions. Through it all she held her head high, never complaining always looking &amp; researching what she could do do beat this beast and trying to live her life in the best way possible. Still planning ahead for those trips abroad one day and possibly adopting a baby . Unfortunately after all these treatments the cancer kept advancing and spread to her sternum and her liver and by November of 2022 it was found to have metastasized to her brain . She did not qualify for the clinical trials due to her particular gene markers and the trials that were available were still only in phase 1 infancy . So not safe yet for human testing or with enough proven success.  Sara kept fighting though ! Never giving up hope . Always researching the latest treatment or drug even if it was not available to her yet . She fought through the pain as the cancer progressed in her liver. Rarely complaining although we could see her deterioration as she struggled to walk . She celebrated Christmas and New Year with our family smiling and laughing in pictures . By February though there was a marked change and after her last chemo she ended up in hospital with dangerously low red blood and platelet levels . The hospital scan showed her tumor had grown immensely just over a few weeks . After more blood and platelet transfusions and knowing that more Chemo would likely make her sicker she  decided to come home on hospice to be surrounded by her family .

<div><span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">Sara had just celebrated her 39th Birthday when she passed . She was a vibrant, beautiful, loving and very talented young woman . She loved her family and friends and being outdoors in nature . Sara fought cancer with everything she had and was so determined to live every day to the fullest. She did Not let cancer take over her spirit or define who she was! </span>

</div>


<div>Her death has been a devastating loss to our family . <span style="font-family:'-apple-system-body';">To honor our beautiful daughter on June 5th - June 12th our family have chosen to hike together 96 miles through Scotland on the West Highland Way to raise funds for the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation . We chose this non profit charity as they strive to be a credible source for triple negative breast cancer information, a catalyst for science &amp; research and patient advocacy groups, and a caring community with meaningful services for patients and their families. We feel that Sara would want more research, education and outreach to be done for this type of aggressive cancer and hopefully one day we pray they finally find a cure! </span>

<div>We will be updating this page as our journey gets closer, posting information , pictures and videos of our hike and fond memories of Sara . Sara will be with us on our journey too . Her spirit will fly high into the mountains and glens she loved and longed to visit again ! Thank you all so much for your love support for  Sara and for your donations to our fundraiser
