Breast Cancer Campaign: research is the start of the solution.
wear it pink is a fun and easy way to donate to Campaign and help
fund breast cancer research.
Please join me by wearing pink on Friday October 30th and donating to Breast Cancer Campaign. And invite everyone you know to join in too :)See the wear it pink website for more info.
Breast Cancer Campaign uses all wear it pink donations to fund innovative,
world-class research throughout the UK and Ireland to understand how breast cancer
develops, leading to improved diagnosis, treatment, prevention and cure.
The charity currently supports around 130 projects worth £15million in 43
centres across the UK and Ireland.
Last year, wear it pink supporters raised £3.5 million which helped to fund projects like Dr Ingunn
Holen's award-winning research which found that if two drugs were given in a particular
order at specific time intervals, breast tumours were almost completely destroyed.
This discovery could ultimately lead to improved chances of survival for thousands
of women undergoing treatment and bring us a step closer to beating breast cancer.
Breast cancer research has made considerable progress over the past two decades
and vital work is still underway. Past research has resulted in improvements in
quality of life and survival. However, one woman in nine in the UK will be diagnosed
during her lifetime. Each research project funded by the charity brings us a step
closer to beating breast cancer.---
