Our Story

What if we could provide support which makes Breast Cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery journey better for patients and their families?

When Stephanie was diagnosed with Breast cancer. Nothing prepared us for the journey. After receiving the diagnosis following numerous tests, we could not tell anyone!
It was a big burden on our shoulder as we had to digest the news and understand what next..

How do we summon the courage and manage the news to ensure our aged parents are shielded from the impact of this devastating news?

How do we shield the children from this news?

A couple of weeks later, I got a call from a family friend in Abu-Dhabi whilst I was driving, "seems you are driving from the noise in the background, have you got the children with you in the car"?
The conversation marked the beginning of a more positive outlook and experience in the breast cancer treatment journey.

The impact of Breast cancer on patients family is enormous.

We feel blessed with the support we received from family, friends, neighbours, work colleagues, teachers at children's school, NHS Staff (doctors, nurses, physiotherapists etc) & acquaintances

On 3rd June 2025, African Medical Centre of Excellence (AMCE) in Abuja, Nigeria was commissioned by African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) to offer world-class services across oncology services amongst other services, through its clinical partnerships with King’s College Hospital, London and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust.

How lucky are we to have The Christie here in Manchester at our doorstep where Stephanie was opportune to receive world-class Breast cancer treatment?

Whilst Stephanie's treatment was ongoing, I had the privilege of speaking with friends who shared both positive and negative experiences. One of the cases shared with me was that of a young lady (an International student at Salford University), diagnosed with breast cancer. She lived on her own and had to travel by bus for her chemotherapy treatment, she also had to submit assignments and remain at the university roll in order to comply with her visa condition to remain in the UK. I was told "She graduated with a first-class but never knew as she went into coma the day the result was released"

We feel extremely blessed and we are thankful to God for our friends, families, and all who supported us.

We would love to give back and support others in anyway we can. We would love to increase public education on Breast cancer and support research. We would love to provide support to make the journey much better for other Breast cancer patients and their families.

Together we can!
