Sarah Horton is the author of ‘Being Sarah, a true story about choice, control and breast cancer‘.
Being Sarah was published in October 2010. Opinionated, outspoken and life-affirming, Being Sarah is an angry protest call, and questions the pink culture that surrounds breast cancer; and looks at the politics of the disease and our focus on cure which ignores research into prevention and environmental links to breast cancer.
Sarah is part of the international network, the Breast Cancer Consortium, formed by Gayle Sulik, author of Pink Ribbon Blues.
In 2012 Sarah and Gayle’s close friend, Rachel Cheetham, died of breast cancer. She was 41. Sarah worked with Rachel’s mother, Mandy Cheetham, to publish Rachel’s blog as a book – The Cancer Culture Chronicles.
Sarah and Mandy continue to write as Can-Do Women Continued, honouring Rachel’s Can-Do Women blog which she wrote in addition to her breast cancer blog.
Sarah is an independent funeral celebrant. She also works with her partner Ronnie Hughes on creative projects as ‘a sense of place‘.
