Morgan shares her '˜secret' to help victims

As a budding entrepreneur and philanthropist, Ms Dowler was determined to do something to improve the lives of all women who are battling this terrible disease.

She has launched her new business, Love Me (And My Secret), with a line of specialist underwear designed for breast cancer patients.

Ms Dowler, who graduated with a BA (Hons) Business Management degree from Leeds Beckett in 2013, launched four bras at an event held at the Hard Day’s Night Hotel in Liverpool, which helped to raise cash for North West Cancer Research.

The event was attended by doctors, nurses and patients from hospitals across the North of England, as well people who have supported Ms Dowler and her project.

Ms Dowler said: “My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013 while I was in my final year of study at Leeds Beckett. When mum was a little down we decided to take her shopping; my mum was already upset from her diagnosis never mind being disappointed by what was on the UK high street.

“With breast cancer affecting one in eight women in the UK at some point in their lifetime I was shocked nothing had been done sooner. Instead of complaining about the lack of choice, I decided to do something about it.

“We have collaborated with doctors, surgeons and nurses to produce a line of bras with the patients’ needs at the forefront of the design. These bras are comfortable, yet pretty – that even the most style-conscious would want to wear. My vision for Love Me (And My Secret) is to become the UK number one brand for post-surgery bras.”
