FIONA FLOWER

Chris Flower

Fiona's youngest son and a founding Trustee, Chris is a physiotherapist with the NHS.

Fiona was bubbly, smart and funny, an incredibly hard worker who also knew how to have fun. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a double mastectomy, but still came back to compete in swimming and triathlon. Sadly she died in 2012 after a 10 year battle, but her memory lives on in the huge number of friends she left behind and the fun, sporting challenges we fundraise through. All the money supports causes close to her heart.

mission

Through fun, sporting and adventure challenges (often with a twist and social) we fund cutting edge breast cancer research and physical therapy to help patients get back on their feet.
