Thank you for taking time to visit our page, we have pledged to reach £250,000 for The Christie Charity.

And the money raised for the next year will be going towards vital research to help young women with breast cancer.

Breast cancer has one of the highest survival rates of all cancers if it is caught early. But around 1 in 5 women diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK is under the screening age of 50. Because of this, breast cancer is the most common cause of death in women aged 30 to 50 years. These women tend to come forward with more advanced cancers because they do not have the mammograms which are there to diagnose breast cancer early.

Research at The Christie aims to change this. Donations will be used to help fund a vital new project that we hope will lead to a national breast cancer risk assessment programme. This could lead to those identified as increased risk being offered early screening and preventive therapies. This could help so many women at risk of breast cancer as we can find those at risk and do more to save them.
