Dear friends and family,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have chosen to support Breakthrough Breast Cancer, the UK’s leading charity committed to fighting breast cancer through research, campaigning and education. It has established the UK’s first dedicated breast cancer research centre in partnership with the Institute of Cancer Research.

Here are some facts:

• - Nearly 46,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK.
• - Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK.  It accounts for nearly 1 in 3 of all cancers in women.
• - 1 in 9 women in the UK will develop breast cancer at some point in their lifetime.
• - More than 1,000 women die of breast cancer every month in the UK.
• - Over 80% of breast cancers in the UK occur in women over 50 years of age.

• - More women than ever in the UK are surviving breast cancer thanks to better awareness, better screening and better treatments.
• - It is estimated that 80% of women diagnosed with breast cancer in England and Wales will survive for at least five years.
• - The most recent estimate suggests over half a million women are alive in the UK having had a diagnosis of breast cancer.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you,
