Martine & Sean moved to Australia from Belfast 7 years ago and live in Sydney with their beloved dog Bruno.

In May while on a trip to Hamilton Island to celebrate what should have been her Wedding Day which has been postponed due to Covid, Martine found two lumps in her breast.

At 29 years of age, extremely fit & healthy it was a huge shock to Martine, her fiancé Sean, their families and wide circle of friends when she received confirmation that it was breast cancer. Thousands of miles away from home and with the pandemic shutting all international borders, Martine needed her mummy and daddy by her side.

This is her story.
