FORCE Cancer Charity

Joe is riding The Nello to thank FORCE:

When Laura Baker from Exeter was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022 at the age of 39, she was treated quickly and returned to normal life.

But two years later a follow-up mammogram picked up more disease. This time it was early-stage and invasive.

Laura also discovered that she carries a BRCA gene alteration, which increases the risk of developing certain cancers.

Husband Joe recalls: “Like many families we were thrown into a world of uncertainties with its own unique confusing language.”

The couple turned to FORCE, which offers free support and advice to local people dealing with a cancer diagnosis.

Joe will be cycling The Nello – FORCE’s flagship fundraising event – on Sunday June 28 to raise money for our charity as a thank you for the support his family has received. You can join him and cycle either 60 or 100 miles: https://forcecancercharity.co.uk/nello/

CREDITON Boniface Rotary Club has raised almost £8,000 for charity in two recent initiatives.

Rotarians Paul Radnor, Fred Oliver, Paul Butt and Paul Evans raised £1,283 for Force Cancer Charity in a sponsored swim-a-thon, swimming 151 lengths of the pool at Active Crediton (formerly Lords Meadow Leisure Centre) with the remainder going to Marie Curie.

Sue and Jane from Crediton Friends of FORCE were honoured to receive the cheque from Crediton Boniface Rotary Club.

It's Refugee Week.
Refugee Week celebrates the power of community, connection, and belonging. At FORCE, we believe everyone affected by cancer deserves access to support, information, and compassionate care, regardless of where they come from.
We understand that a cancer diagnosis can feel isolating. That's why we're committed to creating safe, supportive spaces where everyone affected by cancer feels welcome and supported.

Sign up to join us on 28th June ahead of online registration closing at 9am on the 25th!
