Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK for women. Every year, over 56,800 individuals are diagnosed – that is 156 people a day. Each year we lose 11,200 to this disease. For us, that is 11,200 too many.

"Predict. Prevent. Protect."

Prevent Breast Cancer is the only UK charity entirely dedicated to the prediction and prevention of breast cancer. They are committed to freeing the world from the disease altogether. Unlike many cancer charities, they are focused on preventing breast cancer - stopping the problem before it even starts.

The money we are raising will go towards the Prevent Breast Cancer Research Unit, a world-leading hub that will unite Manchester’s extraordinary research talent, extensive datasets and valuable biological samples to drive forward discovery, innovation and training in breast cancer prevention.

The Prevent Breast Cancer Research Unit will be the beating heart of prevention research, centralising resources, empowering researchers, training the next generation and accelerating the science that could one day make breast cancer a disease of the past.

As many of you know this is a cause very close to our hearts we all know someone who has been impacted by a Breast Cancer diagnosis. One of pur team members, Kate Rothwell, was diagnosed with hormone positive Breast Cancer in April 2024 & now, 2 years later, she finally feels ready join us & take up this challenge too!

So please support us raising £££ for Prevent Breast Cancer in the hope that future generations will not have to face this awful disease & it because a disease of the past 🩷🩷🩷
