Research is saving lives
Breast cancer is affecting more of us than ever before. Every day, around 139 people in the UK hear the words ‘it’s breast cancer’ and every month the disease takes the lives of nearly 1,000 people.
But these aren’t just statistics. These are real people with real lives, who we need to give more precious time to live. And there’s only one way to do that – research.
We’re the largest charity in the UK whose research focuses entirely on breast cancer. With nearly 450 scientists across the UK and Ireland, working on over 90 cutting-edge projects, we’re tackling the disease from every angle. From discovering how to prevent it and uncovering better ways to detect it earlier, to finding new ways to treat it and understanding how to stop it spreading to other parts of the body.
Breast Cancer Now won’t stop until breast cancer has taken its last life. With your help our research will save lives.
