Against Breast Cancer are delighted to unveil the latest 2024 issue of our charity newsletter, ‘Together’.
As we turned thirty last year, it got us thinking about our community – all those kind and generous people who have shared their time or expertise with us. Their help and support is the sole reason we have been able to achieve significant breakthroughs in understanding the complexities of breast cancer.
With this thought firmly in mind, we set about organising our inaugural ABC Research Conference, bringing together research scientists, healthcare professionals and patients to engage, learn and collaborate on the latest developments in breast cancer research.
You can read about our research conference and some of the great work from our fundraisers and supporters over the past few months in the autumn 2024 issue of ‘Together’ below.
Some of the highlights of this edition include:
Against Breast Cancer Research Conference 2024
In June the historic Oriel College in Oxford served as an elegant and inspiring backdrop for the first ABC Research Conference. Our aim was to bring together researchers, supporters and experts by experience to learn and collaborate on the latest developments within metastatic breast cancer research towards prevention, earlier detection and improved therapies.
Running trips of a lifetime
Have you been swept up by running fever? Runs like the Berlin Marathon and the New York City Marathon are becoming harder to get into as demand swells with no sign of stopping. So, what if you could secure places in the world’s most prestigious running events without relying on a lottery? Well, with ABC you can do just that.
Lewis’s story
Lewis, a former RSPCA inspector, didn’t realise men could get breast cancer. After helping his wife through her own diagnosis and treatment, Lewis himself found a lump. He tells us about his own treatment and the unique challenges he faced as a man with breast cancer.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A month dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer research. We would love your support and there are so many ways you can get involved either individually or in the workplace.
Thank you for playing your part in ensuring the continued success of the charity and our vital, life-saving research.
