2026 is a year of celebration as it's 10 years since the Worcestershire Breast Unit opened its doors and the Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven charity started fundraising to support Worcestershire patients with breast cancer. Over that period, some 51,000 women and men have been referred through our breast services doors with different breast health issues, and from there 6,768 of those have been diagnosed with breast cancer. The Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven charity exists to support those people from the point of diagnosis, through treatment and recovery, offering emotional and practical support over and above what the NHS can provide.

Biking Breast 2 Brest is the brainchild of Breast Consultant Steven Thrush who started with a gem of an idea and has developed it into a challenge that is seeing 22 like-minded people cycle alongside him from the Worcestershire Breast Unit in Worcester to Brest in France.

The four-day challenge will see the cyclists leave Worcester and head down to the South coast, over the Channel and through France, cycling on average 70 miles a day to complete the 300 mile adventure.

Training for this journey is a must, and our intrepid adventurers are well underway with this. Please support their efforts and motivate them by making a donation: everything they raise is going towards patients in Worcestershire with breast cancer. Thank you for your support.
