Sharing your personal experience of breast cancer can be a powerful way to increase awareness, raise money to support those affected, and help you and the breast cancer community be seen and heard. Sharing your story can have therapeutic benefits for you, and can help other members of our community know they are not alone.
Your story will not be shared or published without your permission, and a member of the Future Dreams team will be in touch with you to talk things through beforehand.

FAQs:
How could my story be used by Future Dreams?
Personal stories could be published on the Future Dreams website alongside other stories from our community, and shared across our social media channels such as this example. If we would like to publish and share your story, we will always contact you and you will be sent an exact draft of what is going to be published in advance so that you and the team can make sure you’re happy with everything. We will not share or publish anything without your permission.
Does sharing my story here mean it will definitely be published?
Your completed form and story submission will be put on file at Future Dreams, and does not guarantee your story will be published on the website or shared across our channels. We will contact those whose stories we feel would really resonate with the Future Dreams community, and help to powerfully raise awareness of funding vital research into breast cancer and supporting those affected by the disease.
What if I decide I don’t want to share after I’ve submitted the form? Or if my story changes or I want to change my photos, information or story details at a later time?
Not a problem! Reach out to the member of the Future Dreams team who has been in touch with you in regards to sharing your story, and we can make edits for you straight away. If you have yet to be contacted by Future Dreams, email info@futuredreams.org.uk.

Sylvie and Danielle began Future Dreams with just £100 in 2008. They believed nobody should face breast cancer alone. Their legacy lives on in Future Dreams House. We couldn’t continue to fund support services for those touched by breast cancer, raise awareness of breast cancer and promote early diagnosis and advance research into secondary breast cancer without your help. Please consider partnering with us or making a donation.
