Tax deductible
Beach Break Cafe is entering 2 relay teams in the Port Macquarie Ironman 70.3 on Sunday 5th May, 2019.
Team 1 is raising money to benefit National Breast Cancer Foundation, and any donation will help make an impact. The members of Team 1 include swimmer Beryl Wilson- 1.9km, Vanessa Litras- 90km cycle and Melinda Coram- 21.5km run. We appreciate your support
to this important cause that means so much to us.
More information about National Breast Cancer Foundation: Some might think our goal of working towards zero deaths by 2030 is ambitious and so it is. When the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) was established in 1994, the five-year survival rate for those diagnosed with breast cancer was 76 per cent. Twenty-two years on it is 90 per cent; a substantial improvement that has been driven largely by targeted research. While this is an important advancement which has saved many lives, it is still not enough. With eight Australians still dying each day our drive to end deaths from breast cancer by 2030 is as real as it is determined. The NBCF model for success is a three-way collaboration between our organisation and its committed staff, the Australian research community, and our broader stakeholders comprised of cancer patients, volunteers, our generous donors and corporate partners; without whom our ambitions simply could not be met. In the 2015-16 financial year the community entrusted NBCF with $25.6 million to fund outstanding research. We awarded funding to 34 projects that we believe have the potential to both save and improve the lives of women and men affected by breast cancer. Projects funded in the past few years are coming to completion, adding to the global body of knowledge about how and why breast cancer grows and spreads, helping new discoveries be translated into better cancer care. These research results will also inform guidelines and public policy to improve survival rates and the quality of life of breast cancer patients through earlier detection and improved treatment options. These are very exciting times for cancer research worldwide. There have been enormous advances in the understanding and treatment of cancers. The rise of precision medicine enables scientists to understand the exact molecular details of each tumour to be able to target it selectively and precisely. The advent of immunotherapies has enabled researchers to leverage an individual’s own immune system to fight cancer. Detection techniques are steadily improving
