Future Dreams is a unique charity. It was set up in 2008 by mother and daughter, Sylvie Henry and Danielle Leslie who, by a cruel twist of fate, were both diagnosed with breast cancer. Danielle was just 35 and a mother of three young children. Tragically, within a year of one another in 2009, both women lost their lives to the disease. A bond between any mother and daughter is extraordinarily strong, but these two women created a powerhouse of love and compassion with the most incredible support system of family and friends. From the start, they vowed to live life to the max with the people who were important to them and to do everything they could to stop Amy, Danielle’s daughter – Sylvie’s grand-daughter – from facing the same illness. Their dream too, was to ensure that nobody should ever have to face this illness on their own. As a charity we are inspired by the insight of our founders and all the people we have met on the journey. Our mission has been to use the values of kindness, dignity, thoughtfulness and community to make a breast cancer experience less bleak and lonely. But, in the end, it is not about us. It is about making a difference and helping families, friends and patients find the support they need at their toughest of times.
