Life can change in a heartbeat.

There are moments in life when everything changes. When the path you’re on, presents a detour. These moments happen to us all and, when they do, we take a deep breath and then we reconsider things; our relationships; our ambitions and our financial plans.

Hi, I’m Lorraine - a fashion designer who travels the world and mom to a very busy 20-month old little girl.

3 years ago, just after my thirtieth birthday, my husband and I bought our first house together. Shortly after that we decided to try for a baby. We’d already been married for 5 years, so we were ready to embark on our next adventure.

When you’re pregnant you’re very aware of your body and I was well into my pregnancy when I noticed a lump in my breast. I knew I had to get it checked out. When the radiologist did the biopsy, he didn’t seem too worried about it.

So, I went back to work and continued with my day. I put the biopsy out of the mind and went home that night, not even thinking about it. And, then the phone call came.

I was 33 weeks pregnant when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Three weeks later I delivered my baby…..and then I started 6 months of chemo.
