Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding passed away in 2021 when she was 39 after a battle with breast cancer, and now a major cancer research project has been launched in her memory
A major cancer research project in memory of singer Sarah Harding will look for early signs of breast cancer in young women. Sarah, who was part of the pop group Girls Aloud, died from the disease aged 39 in 2021.
The project will run in Greater Manchester and is being made possible thanks to funding from the Christie Charity, Cancer Research UK and the Sarah Harding Breast Cancer Appeal. The Appeal in memory of Sarah is supported by the singer's family, friends and Girls Aloud bandmates Cheryl Tweedy, Kimberley Walsh, Nadine Coyle and Nicola Roberts.
Eight to 10 weeks after her appointment, Catherine will receive feedback about her risk of breast cancer. Then she will undertake a psychological impact questionnaire and receive a breast cancer risk statement at the end of the study, likely to be in 2025. “With breast cancer still the leading cause of death in women under 50, we need to find ways to identify those most at risk and offer them breast screening to detect cancers earlier, when treatment is more likely to be successful.”
