My name is Renee and I am fundraising on behalf of the Passfield family.

In August, my best friend Nicky was diagnosed with Stage 2 Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Being so young, this has come as quite a shock to the family. Triple Negative Breast Cancer is one of the more aggressive forms of breast cancer, and therefore requires a more aggressive treatment plan. Nicky started her chemotherapy and immunotherapy journey on Monday 22nd September 2025. She will continue having chemotherapy and immunotherapy for the next 6 months. After this, she will have surgery to remove the cancer, followed by radiation. It is a long journey ahead for this beautiful family.

Due to being severely immunocompromised, Nicky is unable to return to work. Although she is fortunate enough to be eligible for income protection, this is only a percentage of her usual wage. The costs associated with extra scans, medications and things like a wig and head coverings is quite significant, and important for Nicky’s journey. This family has already been through a lot with the health complications both children have faced, and anything you can donate to help ease the financial burden would be greatly appreciated. There’s a long journey ahead, but Nicky is the strongest person I know - she can do this!
