On sunday 25 July 2010 I will be participating - with members of my family, their friends and colleagues - in a bike ride from London to Cambridge for the charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer. Here are some statistics:
- Nearly 46,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK.
- Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK.
- 1 in 9 women in the UK will develop breast cancer at some point in their lifetime.
- Around 1,000 women die of breast cancer every month in the UK.
- Around 300 men are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the UK.
- More women than ever in the UK are surviving breast cancer thanks to better awareness, better screening and better treatments.
Breakthrough Breast Cancer is a pioneering charity dedicated to the prevention, treatment and ultimate eradication of breast cancer. They believe passionately that this disease can be beaten. By fighting on three fronts – research, campaigning and education – they are determined to save and change lives by removing the fear of breast cancer for good. Please visit their website for more information www.breakthrough.org.uk.
