In 2025, I'm joining the team at LCap to raise vital funds for Prevent Breast Cancer's National Breast Imagery campaign.

On 9th May Team Empower's challenge will be to put on their dancing shoes and dance for 12 hours non stop with Reform Radio Manchester.

We would really love your help by showing your support by making a donation as the team has a fundraising goal of £50,000.

This is a cause that is close to my heart - both my sister and my mum have been affected by breast cancer and as a family we know the trauma and emotional pain that comes with a diagnosis. Early detection saves lives, and that’s why the National Breast Imagery campaign is so important - it aims to improve breast cancer screening and diagnosis across the UK.

Prevent Breast Cancer are addressing the serious workforce shortages within breast imaging. The challenges have led to delays in breast cancer diagnosis, closure of breast centres, and reduced recruitment to research studies. Together, the charities launched a £3.9 million appeal for a new National Breast Imaging Academy, Build To Beat Breast Cancer. Work has already started on the building and there is just circa £250,000 left to raise before they can officially open the doors.

The National Breast Imaging Academy will offer excellent workforce training facilities, enable an extra 13,000 patients be seen each year and offer additional capacity for research into breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Prevent Breast Cancer are incredibly grateful for the team at LCap's Empowering Women Event for their amazing support.
