£500 could pay for us to share the stories of people affected by breast cancer, to thosewho make the big decisions about breast cancer treatments and care for people with this devastating disease.
Or could allow a person with breast cancer to talk freely and regularly over the phone with a trained volunteer who understands their particular concerns, through our Someone Like Me support service.
£750 could give someone with secondary breast cancer the expert information they need and a space to talk openly with others at eight Living with Secondary Breast Cancer sessions
£1,000 could let a scientist read the DNA of a tumour. By doing this, they can figure out what it is that makes tumours form, grow and spread – then find ways to stop that from happening and save lives.
Or could help a younger woman with breast cancer feel less isolated by attending a two-day event with expert information, support and a space to connect with others under 45 with the same diagnosis.
£5,000 could pay for an incubator for growing cells. They can then be used in experiments to learn how cancer grows and spreads – so we can one day stop that from happening.
£10,000 could fund over 300 hours of research.
£15,000 could give up to 50 people struggling to find their new ‘normal’ somewhere to turn after their treatment by funding our four-week Moving Forward courses for a year in their local area.
£30,000 could offer a lifeline of support to 1,000 people affected by breast cancer, by funding our Helpline for a month.
From £100 to £1 million and beyond, every gift will make an impact.
When it comes to supporting breast cancer research and support, gifts of all sizes can make a big difference. After taking care of loved ones, some people leave £100, others £1,000, a few leave a house. Many leave a percentage of anything left over after all their other gifts have been distributed. Every gift will make an impact and help make sure no-one in the future goes through breast cancer alone and no-one loses someone they love.
