Sarah Harding died aged 39 after being diagnosed with breast cancer. One of the Girls Aloud singer's final hopes was to find ways of spotting the disease early when it's easier to treat.
A groundbreaking breast cancer research project launched in memory of the late Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding is already successfully identifying young women at increased risk of getting the disease. The BCAN-RAY was launched a year ago in the singer's name after she died from the disease in 2021 at the age of 39. While she was having treatment, the star said she was 'really keen' for more research into why young women are being diagnosed without a family history of the disease.
With no history of the disease in her family, she told Sky News: 'I'm really grateful that I have been found because now I know that I'm going to be looked after and I can be screened.' Speaking about the work of Harding, she said: 'All I can say really is thanks to her for being such a brave advocate to young women.' The new information means she's now eligible for annual mammograms and medication should she want it.
