October | Breast Cancer Awareness Month |

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Therefore I have decided to let you all know what's happening this month to raise awareness and funds for the most common cancer in the UK; Breast Cancer.   1 in 8 women will face it. Every year 50,000 women are diagnosed with it and 500,000 people are living with it. However, the advances in treatment and care are not enough to prevent breast cancer taking those we love. For example, 1,000 women will lose their lives to breast cancer this month. They're grandma's, mothers, daughters, sisters, aunties, cousins and friends. Someone you may know. #ShopPink

    Breakthrough Breast Cancer is striving to stop breast cancer by

preventing it, discovering it earlier and treating it with more effective treatment. Therefore, this month, with the help of leading UK retailers, Breakthrough Breast Cancer is asking shoppers to contribute to their cutting-edge research by purchasing one of various Breakthrough Breast Cancer products

#BreakthroughBakeOff Now, hands up who has been keeping up with the Great British Bake Off?! Me Me Me! So who doesn't like a bit of baking? Breakthrough are holding a Breakthrough Bake Off to encourage everyone hold their own bake off to share tastey treats, awareness and funds to help fight the battle against cancer. No matter how big or small, what matters most is the taking part and raising whatever you can.   The Breakthrough Bake Off is on Friday 17th October, but if you're busy with work or home life, you can hold it throughout the whole month of October! To help inspire and motivate the natural bakers as well as those not as gifted in the kitchen, Breakthrough have sourced recipes from Lorraine Pascale, Jane Asher, Strictly Come Dancing's Kristina Rihanoff and Made in Chelsea's Riley Uggla. | Facebook | | Twitter | | YouTube | | iBreastCheck |   Have you been affected by breast cancer? Are you planning on doing anything to raise awareness/funds for breakthrough Breast Cancer?
