The Virgin Money London Marathon is a prestigious event, and one that takes a lot of training and intensely hard work to complete! 

We are SO grateful to our amazing runners; Justyn, Laura, Mike and David, for taking on this huge challenge to raise money for our cause.  

Breast cancer is a devastating disease that affects too many people – the patients, their families, friends and colleagues. It is a disease that can often be cured if caught early and suitable treatments are prescribed. But what if there was no need for the cure? There was no diagnosis, no before or after breast cancer. What if people could live their lives safe in the knowledge that it would never happen to them.   

Every year, in the UK, 55,000 individuals are diagnosed – 145 people a day. And every year, we lose 11,400 to this disease. That is 11,400 too many. In fact, it is 55,000 too many. If we could prevent breast cancer tomorrow, by 2027, over 550,000 would never receive a diagnosis.  

 We are the only UK charity entirely dedicated to the prediction and prevention of breast cancer, meaning we’re committed to freeing the world from the disease altogether. Unlike many cancer charities, we’re focused on preventing, rather than curing. Promoting early diagnosis, screening and lifestyle changes, we believe we can stop the problem before it starts. And with the only breast cancer prevention centre in the UK, we’re right at the front line in the fight against the disease. But we can't do this without our amazing supporters. 

Please support Team Prevent Breast Cancer in the 2018 Virgin Money London Marathon, and help us create a future free from breast cancer. With just 3% of cancer research funds being spent on preventing the disease, your donations will make a huge difference to people’s lives. Now, and years into the future.
