Nominations are now open for the Future Dreams Lightning Bolt Award in honour of Nicky Newman and her "Go Grab Life" spirit. ⚡
The Lightning Bolt Award exists to recognise someone who carries Nicky's electric "Go Grab Life" spirit. Someone who hasn't let a breast cancer diagnosis define them, but has used their experience to inspire others, drive change and uplift the breast cancer community around them. This September, we'll honour an individual whose positivity, courage and impact embody everything this award stands for.
Two years ago, the first-ever Lightning Bolt Award was presented to Helen Addis MBE, recognising her tireless work to improve awareness, support and access to treatment for those affected by breast cancer.
If you, or someone you know, embodies Nicky's incredible spirit and approach to life, we'd love to hear their story.
