Fundraising for Breast Cancer Now

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Breakthrough Breast Cancer gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Here are just a few facts to get you thinking how important it is to help me raise as much money as possible by sponsoring me and contribute :-

Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK.

In the UK in 2005 more than 45,500 women were diagnosed with breast cancer, that’s around 125 women a day.

Each year around 300 men in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer.

Breast cancer incidence rates have increased by more than 50% over the last twenty-five years.

In the last ten years, female breast cancer incidence rates in the UK have increased by 13%.

8 in 10 breast cancers are diagnosed in women aged 50 and over.

In England the NHS breast screening programme diagnoses around 10,000 cases of breast cancer each year.

The NHS breast screening programme in England saves around 1,400 lives each year.

Worldwide, more than a million women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year.

The highest rates of breast cancer occur in Northern and Western Europe and North America and the lowest rates are in Northern, Eastern and Middle African countries and Asia.

So please sponsor me now!.

Thank you so much in advance, God bless....... Simon
