This May, we'll be taking on the Great Manchester Run for Prevent Breast Cancer.

Mary, Anna, Jennifer and Rick will be running to remember mum, Gerry, grandma. Mum died on 9th May 2003, 3 months before her 49th birthday. We want to raise some money and mark all these years. The world has moved on so much since then but women and men are still being diagnosed with breast cancer.

Prevent Breast Cancer is only charity in the UK dedicated to the prediction and prevention of breast cancer. Unlike many cancer charities, they focus on preventing, rather than curing. Promoting early diagnosis, screening and lifestyle changes, they believe we can stop the problem before it starts.

Every year in the UK, over 55,900 individuals are diagnosed. That's over 150 people a day. And every year, we lose 11,500 to this disease. That is 11,500 too many. In fact, it is 55,900 too many.

With your support we can help fight this disease together.
