Help me to help Tash's Bashes
More than one in three of us will develop cancer at some point in our lives and each year dedicated scientists at Cancer Research UK get closer to beating it. New technologies such as advances in genetics are bringing us ever closer to major breakthroughs. Cancer Research UK are the largest charitable funder of cancer research in the world, funding nearly half of the UKs cancer research, including the life-saving work of over 4000 scientists, doctors and nurses fighting cancer on all fronts. Every year more that 49,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK, making it the most common form of cancer. That's one in eight women that will develop it in their lifetime. While these numbers are shocking there have been massive leaps made in the last 40 years. During the 1970s around 5 out of 10 women with breast cancer survived beyond 5 years. Now that figure stands at 8 out of 10. Tash has been fighting cancer since 2012 and unfortunately now has secondary cancer, so will become the 2 out 10 that will not survive. Tash's Bashes was born out of her inspriraton and desire to fight this unforgiving disease. Please go to www.tashsbashes.co.uk to read about Tash and all of the fantastic fundraising that is going on and how you can get involved to support the fight against cancer.
CAUSE
Breast cancer
With almost 140 women diagnosed every day, breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK. And, although rarer, around 350 men are also diagnosed with breast cancer every year. The good news is more than two-thirds of women now survive 20 years or more. Help Cancer Research UK find new ways to diagnose and treat the disease.
