You’re helping to change the future of breast cancer

More people are surviving breast cancer than ever before. But breast cancer is far from a done deal.

1 in 7 women in the UK will hear the words "You have breast cancer" in their lifetime. And breast cancer continues to take far too many lives. Around 11,500 women and 90 men every year in the UK. Almost all of them from metastatic (secondary) breast cancer.

We have a bold vision. That by 2050, everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live and live well. But to make that vision a reality, we need to go further and faster than ever before.

That means funding some of the brightest scientific minds to tackle some of the biggest research questions head-on. It means addressing the most pressing inequalities in breast cancer treatment and care. And it means showing up for every person affected by the disease with trusted information and support. But we can’t do it by ourselves.

Our work is only possible thanks to the amazing community of change-makers standing behind us. And by taking part in the Tour de Law, you can join them.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, you can help raise money for our life-saving science and life-changing support. And for your firm, it’s as easy as riding a bike.

Together, let’s pedal for change.

Progress is built on pennies and pounds

Each team must commit to fundraising £5,000. And every penny and pound raised counts. So when you keep going on the bike, you keep us going for people affected by breast cancer. Here’s the impact you could have:

£1250 could pay for around 4 days of research in the lab. That’s 4 days for a researcher to better understand breast cancer. Work on their project. And find new ways to diagnose and treat it.

£3250 could keep the Breast Cancer Now Biobank open for a whole day. It’s a crucial resource storing thousands of breast cancer tissue samples. And by using these tissues, our researchers can find new ways to prevent and treat breast cancer, so we can stop it from taking lives.

£5000 could pay for just over 3 working weeks of research in the lab. Research is key to a future where everyone with breast cancer lives and lives well. And every week in the lab brings us one step closer.

£20,000 could fund a doctoral student for around a year. That’s a researcher working towards their PhD. Developing and learning skills. And safeguarding the future of breast cancer research.
