About Make 2nds Count

Make 2nds Count is a patient and family focused charity dedicated to giving hope to women and men living with secondary breast cancer.

We strive to do this by raising awareness and funding medical research that will contribute to advancing an increased quality of life for patients. Our community programme supports patients and families affected by this incurable disease.

Secondary breast cancer, also known as metastatic, advanced or stage IV breast cancer, is a cancer that has spread beyond the breast to other parts of the body. Parts of the body affected are usually the bones, liver, lungs, brain or the skin. Secondary breast cancer can be treated but it cannot be cured. Treatments aim to control and slow down the disease to enable patients to have the best possible quality of life for as long as possible.

You will possess excellent analytical, communication, organisational and interpersonal skills. You will be able to demonstrate attention to detail and have a proven track record of successful fundraising. You will have a high level of passion and enthusiasm in working with us to achieve our vision of  giving hope to those living with secondary breast cancer.

In joining our forward thinking, informed and compassionate team, you will have the opportunity to make a real impact within Make 2nds Count. This is a rewarding and a fast- pacing role where you will be working with a wide range of individual fundraisers, corporate partners, patients and key stakeholders supporting them with all of our fundraising activities.
