The
Emma Shaw Foundation
About Our Foundation
Making memories that last a lifetime
The foundation was set up in memory of Emma Shaw who was diagnosed with Triple Negative breast cancer along with two other types of breast cancer in 2017. Triple negative develops in about 1 in 5 women with breast cancer (15 to 20%). It is more common in women under 40 and is the most aggressive form.
After many different treatments and procedures here in the UK and Germany, Emma sadly lost her fight on 21st August 2019 at the age of 41.
She was a beautiful, kind and caring person who tried to give advice and help other breast cancer sufferers even though she was going through her own Cancer journey.
Emma wanted to make a difference to peoples lives but never got a chance to build her own charity, so her Family, partner and friends want to make her dream to help others come true.

Help us to honour Emma by carrying out her beautiful legacy.
