My Story
Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. Cancer is happening right now, which is why we're fundraising right now for Cancer Research UK. There’s no time to lose! Last year, one of our team members, our much loved dance school and Shake teacher Lauren, discovered she has the BRCA 1 gene mutation, which increases her risk of developing breast cancer, following her cousin's diagnosis. Fortunately, she has been able to have preventative surgery and has recently undergone a double mastectomy and reconstruction. Lauren is extremely grateful to be able to have this operation to reduce her risks of developing cancer, and knows that it is thanks to research that has given her this opportunity. We at Samantha Dene's and Shake would love to show our support to Lauren in her recovery this year by raising funds for Cancer Research and adding to the brilliant amount she has already raised through her Race for Life fundraising. To fundraise, we will be holding Halloween Fancy Dress party classes in all of our dance and Shake classes on the week of 21st-26th October. That's over 32 Halloween parties in a week! Dust off those costumes because we’re brewing up a cauldron full of wicked disco madness! (We will still be doing lots of dancing so normal dance class shoes still preferred.) You can either support our fundraiser by donating online, or by bringing cash to classes on the week of the fundraiser. We will also be collecting cash donations at our Half Term Holiday Club on Wednesday 30th October. Donate to our page today and help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. Thank you to everyone who supports our fundraiser 2024.
