About:
Breast cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia, with over 20,000 Australians diagnosed every year.
Soberingly, over 3,200 Australians die from breast cancer each year – this equates to 9 lives lost every single day.
But there is hope.
Since our inception in 1994, death rates from breast cancer in Australia have improved by 43% thanks in large part to continued investment in world-class breast cancer research. Ongoing research is the only way we can improve our understanding of how breast cancer originates, grows and spreads, how we best treat and stop breast cancer progressing to end deaths from breast cancer.
All funds raised on NBCF’s Trek Towards Zero Deaths will go towards funding vital breast cancer research in reaching their vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.
We need you!
