Our purpose is simple: to create a future free from breast cancer, where there is no before or after diagnosis. And thanks to better predictive tools and early intervention, we truly believe that for future generations, breast cancer will be a thing of the past. This means acting now, to help more people live a life that’s free from the disease. It means funding research aimed solely at preventing breast cancer. And it means creating a world where thousands of people are spared from ever experiencing the pain and suffering it causes. Put simply, our purpose is in our name. Breast cancer is a devastating disease that affects too many people – the patients, their families, friends and colleagues. It is a disease that can often be cured if caught early and suitable treatments are prescribed. But what if there was no need for the cure? There was no diagnosis, no before or after breast cancer. What if people could live their lives safe in the knowledge that it would never happen to them. Every year, in the UK, 53,000 individuals are diagnosed – 145 people a day. And every year, we lose 12,000 to this disease. That is 12,000 too many. In fact, it is 53,000 too many. If we could prevent breast cancer tomorrow, by 2026, over 530,000 would never receive a diagnosis. Prevent Breast Cancer is the only UK charity funding ground-breaking research solely aimed at preventing breast cancer for future generations. We predict, we prevent, we protect. We predict – by identifying who is at risk of breast cancer We prevent – by offering preventative interventions, to stop breast cancer before it starts We protect – our goal is to shield future generations from breast cancer We know we can put an end to this devastating disease. But we need your support. Together we can protect our future generations. Together we can PREVENT BREAST CANCER.
