My story started with the thought of doing something for charity. A  friend had been talking about Breast Cancer fundraising in UK, so i decided that, would be a good idea. I then found out that a family friend had been diagnosed with breast cancer, so this gave me more incentive to carry on.

Along with my wife, we searched for groups or organisations concerned with breast cancer and we found ourselves asking at Boffa. They suggested going to St Luke’s where we found a breast care nurse. I explained the kind of group we were looking for and my idea, and she gave me a mobile number of Helen Muscat. Little did we know that the ABCF had just been formed, so i called  Helen for a meeting to discuss my plan of a sponsored walk. Helen seemed a little apprehensive of us and my idea, but gave us the ok, along with Esther Sant , co founder of the Foundation.

I started planning our first Sponsored Walk, Cirkewwa  to Marsaxlokk, and we have not looked back since, raising donations and awareness.
