You're helping to change the future of breast cancer

Tour de Law has raised over £1.4 million since it started in 2012. That could fund five 3-year research projects or help 48,000 people affected by breast cancer get vital answers by calling our free helpline.

Our vision is that by 2050, everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live, and be supported to live well. But to make that vision a reality, we need to keep discovering more about breast cancer and how to tackle it.

We know that at least 1 in 4 breast cancers could be prevented. We need to find better ways to detect and diagnose breast cancer as early as possible to improve the chances of treating it successfully. And we need to develop kinder and more effective treatments to help everyone living with or beyond the disease to live well.

By funding over 270 of the brightest minds in breast cancer research across the UK and Ireland, we have the power to drive forward progress on a global scale.

You can find out more about our research projects, here. As you cycle your way along this incredible virtual tour, you’ll be raising money for life-changing breast cancer research and support. Every pound you raise counts for people affected by breast cancer.

The impact of your fundraising

Each team must commit to fundraising £5,000. See how these vital funds could be spent.

£1,250 could pay for 5 days of research. That’s 5 days for a researcher to better understand breast cancer. Work on their project and find new ways to diagnose, treat and prevent the disease.

£2,500 could fund 1 day of research into triple negative breast cancer. This type of breast cancer can be more aggressive and has less targeted treatments. At our research unit, scientists are finding new ways to stop triple negative breast cancers in its tracks.

£5,000 could fund 2 days of work at the genome sequencing lab at our research centre in London. This lets our researchers investigate which DNA changes can increase the chance of someone developing breast cancer – and find new drug targets to stop it.

£10,000 could keep our Biobank running for almost a week. It’s full of breast cancer tissue samples and is a crucial resource for our researchers all around the world. Using real tissue, scientists can make breakthroughs faster and find new ways to prevent and treat breast cancer, to stop the disease from taking lives.
