Mummy’s Star is the only charity in the UK and Ireland dedicated to women and their families when the mother is diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy shortly or after a birth.
Their aim is to support pregnancy through cancer and beyond.
The charity’s objectives are:
the relief of sickness and need, and the preservation of health for those families who have a mother:
(a) who receives a diagnosis of cancer during her pregnancy (which is defined from being 1 week pregnant up to and including delivery, or if the pregnancy ends naturally or medically); or
(b) who receives a diagnosis of cancer at any time postnatally up to the youngest child turning 12 months old; or
(c) who loses her life to cancer, following a diagnosis in either of the time periods specified in (a) or (b) above,
by the provision of financial assistance, support and practical advice.
