Lisa was diagnosed in 2017 with secondary breast cancer.

She said: “From the day I was diagnosed I wanted to raise awareness and funds to support research into secondary breast cancer.

“On average, only five to nine per cent of breast cancer funding is allocated to secondary research.

“Make 2nds Count has already donated over £150,000 to Edinburgh University to support research dedicated to secondary breast cancer and we want to continue to raise even more funds to support patients and families affected by this incurable disease. The Winter Wonderland concert is definitely a fun way to do that!”
