The latest happenings at ABC
A new patient wellbeing space designed to provide comfort and reassurance to Islanders attending mammography appointments has been officially opened at Jersey General Hospital by Lady Kyd, Patron of ABC Jersey.
A tribute to Margie, ABC Jersey’s longest serving founding member, whose compassion and dedication helped shape the charity from its very beginning.
Lady Karen Kyd has been announced as Patron of ABC Jersey, bringing over 25 years of medical experience to support the charity’s mission to provide financial, practical and emotional assistance to Islanders affected by breast cancer. Her appointment strengthens ABC Jersey’s commitment to early detection awareness and community-based support.
Around 200 Islanders came together for the Medicann 5K “Your Way” event, raising an incredible £7,000 for ABC Jersey. Thank you to Medicann, participants and supporters for helping raise awareness and vital funds for Islanders affected by breast cancer.
ABC Jersey is delighted to welcome Gary Bellot as its new Chair. Bringing over 40 years of leadership and governance experience, Gary joins the charity as it looks ahead to its next chapter — building on 25 years of community-led impact and strengthening the support ABC Jersey provides to Islanders affected by breast cancer.
Join us for the third annual Medicann 5K: Your Way on Sunday 1st February 2026. Walk, run or cycle in memory of Rose Shepherd and help raise funds for ABC Jersey ahead of World Cancer Day. Free to enter – all ages and abilities welcome.
We are absolutely thrilled to share that the Jersey Estate Agents Association (J.E.A.A.) has raised an incredible £4,097.62 for ABC Jersey at their recent annual Diamond Ball – a dazzling evening full of sparkle, generosity, and community spirit.
Islander Mark Surcouf has completed an incredible month-long challenge, running 150km throughout November to give back to ABC Jersey after the charity supported his family during his wife’s breast cancer diagnosis. His journey — from surviving a heart attack, to major weight loss, to finishing this endurance feat — is a powerful story of resilience, gratitude and community spirit.
