💗 Meet Leah Baylis ✨💗 At just 42, Leah—a young mum and business owner of Champagne Recruitment—faced the unimaginable as she was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. Thanks to her vigilance and early detection through an MRI, she caught the aggressive cancer before it spread.

Thanks to early detection, Leah didn’t need chemotherapy or radiotherapy and is now focused on raising awareness for other women. 🔬 As a mother to a young daughter at high risk, Leah is passionate about advancing research that will provide hope for the next generation.
