On Tuesday 6 December Too Many Women held an end-of-campaign celebration at the beautiful Patrick Mavros shop on the Fulham Road, opposite the Breakthrough Breast Cancer Research Centre (where all the money raised from TMW will be going).
The event marked the phenomenal achievement of reaching the £1million target and was attended by the Too Many Women Founders, Harry & Catriona, many of the TMW suppporters, Breakthrough Breast Cancer staff, including the Chief Exec Chris Askew and Breakthrough Scientists from the Research Centre, who's pioneering and life-saving breast cancer research work is being funded by the £1million raised by the Too Many Women campaign.
It was a really lovely evening filled with conversation about what the million pounds will help fund, how the target was reached and lots of Christmas drinks and mince pies!
