Bosom Buddies

Wendy Owens and Fiona Gordon have been friends for over 10 years.  In November 2009 Fiona was diagnosed with breast cancer. Just four months later Wendy was given the same diagnosis, two best friends being diagnosed at the same time was so shocking for them and all of their wider circle of friends. They both had to endure various operations, 6 months of Chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

One thing Fiona and Wendy discovered whilst going through the months of arduous treatments, was that because they were both on the same journey, they were able to give each other incredible support and comfort.  They understood how they both felt to experience the horrible side effects of the treatment. They shared the same fears and anxieties. When the road became rough, they were able to pick each other up and keep each other positive.

It is because of this experience that Wendy and Fiona decided to launch the Bosom Buddies Charity in 2012, where they will provide support to anyone experiencing the emotional and domestic difficulties that can arise during their journey through the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. They hope the charity will grow throughout the country, so whenever a women hears the terrifying news that she has breast cancer, she knows there is a Bosom Buddy just a phone call away.

The Ball was an incredible success, far exceeding Wendy and Fiona’s expectations. Gloria Hunniford was their guest of honor and was absolutely bowled over with the quality of the event and the fact this was their first ever Ball and they had 200 guests.
