Make 2nds Count – the charity dedicated to Secondary Breast Cancer patients
Make 2nds Count is a cancer support charity that’s dedicated to raising awareness and research funding to improve the quality of life for Secondary Breast Cancer patients.
Based in Edinburgh, the charity’s primary focus is on supporting patients and their families living with incurable, secondary breast cancer also known as metastatic breast cancer. They do this through three clearly defined pillars of work: research, education and support.
