BRCA+ BABES
Meet our BB’s – our BRCA+ Babes are they key people who run our meetups across the country. They are VIBBs (Very Important BRCA Buds), and some have been involved with BRCA+ Chat from day one. All at different stages of their journey, and all FAB!
These are socials, not Peer Support Groups, although we often find they are supportive and therapeutic, the aim is more about fun and friendships, banter and Buddies. So, brunch, walks, aerial yoga, paddle boarding, nights out, meet ups in giant inflatable boobs…
Find the latest meetups in your local city and contact us for more info!

Hi! I’m Katie, and have a BRCA1 gene alteration. I had a double mastectomy on 1st November 2022. I love making memories, travelling, and being with friends. Fun fact: I’m currently learning French after having lived in Paris for 9 months!

I’m Ruth, a BRCA1 mum to three wild boys, and Barley the dog!
I had my double mastectomy in 2020, and a bilateral Salpingo-oophorectomy in 2022. You’ll find me by the side of a football pitch whether I like it or not, happiest outside and surrounded by my fam! I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve gone through to help others dancing through the same.

Alex
Hey! I’m Alex, I’m a two-time breast cancer survivor with a BRCA2 genetic mutation. I’m a glass-half-full kinda girl. I love travelling, living life to the full and doing fun stuff with my kids. By day, I’m dedicated to launching my own business focused on designing post-surgery bras for breast cancer survivors.
As a BRCA2 carrier, I had already decided I wanted preventative surgery before I discovered that I had breast cancer. I love what Christen is doing with the BRCA CHAT charity 👾and therefore happily volunteered to be a BRCA Chat babe and facilitate local meet-ups. Because who doesn’t love a social soirée?
