Against Breast Cancer

• Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women in the U.K. Donations to Against Breast Cancer will fund research to improve detection and increase survival rates after diagnosis.
• This charity, in particular, focuses on "secondary spread", which is when breast cancer cells spread from the breast (primary cancer) to the rest of the body (secondary cancer). Secondary spread is the main cause of death of breast cancer.
• To stop deaths from "secondary spread," the charity invests in education for younger scientists who perform innovative research into survival rates after a breast cancer diagnosis. By signing up to Savoo and selecting Against Breast Cancer as your charity, they will receive free donations every time you shop online.

Learn more about Against Breast Cancer

Against Breast Cancer was founded by Dr. Anthony Leathem and his wife Patricia in their quest to create a future that was free of breast cancer. Thirty years ago, whilst Dr Anthony worked at Middlesex Hospital and Patricia was a breast cancer theatre nurse at Oxford's Churchill Hospital, the two fundraised themselves to help get their research off the ground. Patricia wrote to schools, chambers of commerce and women's organisations. Dr Anthony put the charity on a national footing when he stood outside Oxford Circus Underground in his white lab coat, rattling a tin for his research. Since then, the two have raised record-breaking amounts of money to put towards breast cancer research and help improve the lives of those suffering the effects of breast cancer.

How they support: Against Breast Cancer therapies and research

The charity has released many case studies and project findings on its website. The money raised through fundraising events, donations, and challenges has been used to fund the cutting-edge research done by its scientists. Moreover, Against Breast Cancer also offers grants to those who propose research strategies, whether it's a new type of breast cancer research or to enhance an existing project. Either way, the charity is actively doing its own studies whilst funding the research of others, cementing itself as a powerhouse in the movement to find a cure.
