About Us
We are more than just a community.
Breast cancer might have changed your life, but it definitely shouldn't define it.
Our Team.
Rise & Revive was created by four friends brought together by breast cancer: Alex, Mel, Gemma and Louisa.
We know there are enough dark days. Enough hospital appointments. Enough scans. Enough waiting rooms. Enough overthinking at 3am... That's why we believe life after a breast cancer diagnosis should still include adventure, laughter, friendship and making memories you'll never forget.

Breathe Balance Be
It's often the conversations over a cup of tea, the shared tears, the ridiculous laughter, the first paddle boarding experience, the sunrise walks, the glitter-covered dance floor and those magical "me too" moments that help people truly heal... That's what Rise & Revive is all about.
We've built a community where strangers become lifelong friends, where every story matters, where nobody has to explain themselves, and where you can simply be you.
Whether you're newly diagnosed, years beyond treatment, living with secondary breast cancer, carrying a genetic mutation, or supporting someone you love, you'll find open arms, friendly faces and people who genuinely understand. 🩷🧡
