Our mission
Nobody should ever have to face breast cancer on their own.
How it all began
Future Dreams was started in 2008 by mother and daughter Sylvie Henry and Danielle Leslie. By a cruel twist of fate, they were both diagnosed with Breast Cancer, Danielle just 35 and a mother of 3 young children. Tragically both women lost their lives to the disease within a year of each other in 2009.
Since 2008 we have continued their legacy to raise over £6.5m for support, awareness and research.
Our values
As a charity, we are inspired by the Vision of our founders and the precious insight and advice from the people and families we have met on the journey. Future Dreams wants to make a breast cancer experience less bleak and lonely using these core values.
