WALK FOR MOUTH CANCER

BADT are walking as many KMs as we can in support of Mouth Cancer Awareness from 1st October until 30th November.

Mouth Cancer is on the increase!

The Mouth Cancer Foundation exists to raise awareness and support for mouth cancer. The charity endeavours to promote, protect, educate and support the public. Informing people on the signs, symptoms, risk factors, facts and figures and key causes of mouth cancer is extremely important and something which the charity is very passionate about.

As Dental Care Professionals we are very much aware of the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of mouth cancer but also how much support is needed for the patients and family’s of those receiving treatment for mouth cancer

It is particularly poignant to our association this year as our North West Rep; Holly has experienced this first hand, with her father being diagnosed with mouth cancer earlier this year. Fortunately Alistair has now had the all clear but is still on the road to recovery receiving treatment from dentists, oral surgeons and physiotherapists.

There are over 8864 new cases of mouth cancer in the UK each year. 3034 lives were lost in 2021. World wide the disease affects 650000 people per year. Thank you for visiting the 18th annual Mouth Cancer Awareness Walk fundraising page. This is the only walk for mouth cancer anywhere in the world!

The Mouth Cancer awareness walk is usually carried out in London’s Hyde Park, this year BADT are aiming to complete as many KMs as possible in our hometowns across the UK.
