About Us

We are Make 2nds Count: a UK-wide patient and family focused charity dedicated to giving hope to women and men living with secondary (metastatic) breast cancer.

There are an estimated 61,000 women and men in the UK living with secondary (metastatic) breast cancer. Secondary breast cancer is a cancer that has spread beyond the breast to other parts of the body. It is treatable but incurable, and symptoms can vary from person to person. It can have a devastating impact on people affected and their families, yet many of the general public have never heard of it.

Since we established in 2017, we have been empowering our community through clear information and practical advice about treatment options and clinical trials. We connect patients through peer-to-peer and online support groups, wellbeing activities, and retreats. We invest in vital research into secondary breast cancer, and raise awareness of the disease and its symptoms through powerful, social-media-led campaigns.
