A breast cancer study created in memory of Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding has already helped identify at least 88 young women at risk of developing breast cancer. And her bandmates - Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh - have vowed to keep Sarah's legacy alive by fulfilling her wishes to help give young women the best possible chance of survival from the disease.
The Breast Cancer Risk Assessment in Young Women (BCAN-RAY) study was set up in May 2023 inspired by the singer's desire for medics to spot the disease earlier - Sarah, of Stockport, died in September 2021 aged just 39. Now this September will see the second phase of the study begin - the Sarah Harding Young Women's Breast Cancer Fellowship, including a research lab dedicated to examining risk factors for women in their 30s.
