Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, affecting over 55,000 women and 390 men each year. While these statistics are alarming, there is hope: around a third of these cases are preventable. This is where Breast Cancer UK steps in, working tirelessly to educate individuals about risk reduction and advocating for vital changes in national health policies.

As I prepare to take on the challenge of the Marathon des Sables, I am reminded of the strength and resilience of those affected by breast cancer. Each step I take will not only be a personal challenge but also a commitment to support Breast Cancer UK's mission. They provide practical advice and tips on how we can reduce our risk, fund essential research, and collaborate with others to improve our understanding of this disease.

I am asking for your support in raising £2,500 for Breast Cancer UK. Together, we can make a difference in preventing breast cancer and supporting those who are affected by it. Your contribution will help fund education initiatives and research that could save lives. Let’s work together to create a future where fewer people have to face this diagnosis.

I personally know so many women affected by Breast Cancer.
