- Our vision

## More people than ever are developing breast cancer

Every 9 minutes, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK. And a man is diagnosed every day.

We’ve been making change happen for over 50 years, and we’re not stopping now. Because we have a bold vision. That by 2050, everyone with breast cancer will live and live well. We can’t do it on our own. But together, we can make change happen. Now.
