West Herts Wanderers FC are proudly raising money to support the fight against breast cancer in memory of Dawn Payne.

As a club we are raising funds for a close member and sponsor of ours Nick Payne, these funds will be used to go towards his fundraiser which he raises incredible amounts yearly.

We are extremely grateful to Nick, who has been an unwavering pillar of support in helping our football club get off the ground. His dedication and hard work have been instrumental in making our team what it is today. Nick and his family faced the heart breaking loss of Dawn to breast cancer, and while time has passed, the impact of that loss is still felt deeply. She played a special part in the lives of many members of our team, and her memory will forever live on.

In light of his immense contribution and support, we want to give back and show our appreciation for everything he’s done. This gesture is a small token of our gratitude for his support.

In 2017, Dawn was diagnosed with breast cancer and successfully underwent chemotherapy. Sadly following a reoccurrence she passed away on 28th August 2019. We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up or fight like hell. Unfortunately at the young age of 44, Dawn lost her battle but by only working together can we win the war. £1000 will kit out a PhD student with everything they need to beat cancer sooner, helping to train the researchers of tomorrow.
