Women who survive breast cancer often feel self conscious and disgusted with their bodies after mastectomies.

Gloria Barnes from Shoreham had added trauma when her husband left her.

Now Gloria has got over the bad times and has stopped attempts to reconstruct her body. Instead, she is enjoying life to the full and will take a trek along the Great Wall of China to raise money for Breast Cancer Care.

Gloria is now a shining example of how women can stop feeling sorry for themselves and enjoy new experiences despite difficulties.
