OUR VISION: ZERO DEATHS FROM BREAST CANCER

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and an important time for NBCF to highlight why research in this area is so crucial. Breast cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia, with 9 people losing their lives to the disease every day.

Every year over 21,000 people in Australia (including around 200 men) will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

Every day 58 people in Australia will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

Every year over 3,300 people in Australia (including 33 men) will die from breast cancer. That’s someone’s mother, sister, friend or family member whose life has been tragically cut short because of the disease.

Get involved by this october :

• Raisingawareness on social media and family
• Volunteer an event for the cause
• donating to the foundation
