Little Lifts

Based in East Anglia, Elin documents her ongoing breast cancer journey spanning diagnosis, chemotherapy, mastectomy, radiotherapy, and current hormone therapy treatment protocols. She contributes firsthand accounts of medical procedures, recovery milestones, and practical coping strategies through her work with Little Lifts, a regional cancer support organization. Her content focuses on evidence-based patient resources, medical terminology education, and navigating healthcare systems. Little Lifts partners with Elin to coordinate their annual Fitness Festival fundraiser, which provides care packages to patients in active treatment across Norfolk and Suffolk hospitals. She helps develop content for the Little Lifts Retreat program curriculum, incorporating structured wellness activities like yoga, mindfulness practice, art therapy, clinical nutrition guidance, and specialized beauty workshops. The retreat serves women managing ongoing hormone therapy and those transitioning to post-treatment recovery. Elin's advocacy emphasizes connecting newly diagnosed patients with experienced peers, accessing hospital support services, and building sustainable recovery routines. She collaborates with Little Lifts to document patient experiences, identify support gaps, and expand practical assistance programs in East Anglian medical centers. Her work focuses on reducing isolation through community-based resources and evidence-informed wellness practices for breast cancer patients.
