Huge congrats to Ben, our first ever #LondonMarathon runner! Yesterday Ben smashed his target time by 9 minutes. He was aiming for 3 and a half hours and completed the marathon in 3 hours and 21 mins - what an epic achievement. Ben has also smashed his fundraising target of £5,000 🙌 Thank you Ben!

Yesterday we were proud to join 60 cancer charities to speak as #OneCancerVoice. Together, we are calling on the government to deliver a fully-funded National Cancer Plan for England. In order to make real change happen for people living with cancer, the Plan must meet six essential tests.

Are you a woman with Lobular Breast Cancer? Got 15 -20 mins to spare? In partnership with University of Aberdeen, we're conducting research to understand the emotional & informational needs of women with Lobular & how these needs can be supported through online resources.

The Government is writing a new national cancer plan. Share your opinions & help inform them of the wider needs of Lobular patients – how it’s a distinct disease that needs better understanding, more research and more effective treatment guidelines. consultations.dhsc.gov.uk/shaping-the-...

Have you had a Metastatic Lobular diagnosis? Could you help Lobular Breast Cancer researchers at the Lee-Oesterreich Lab at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in the US with their research?

Do you know what one of the simplest things you can do to raise awareness of Lobular Breast Cancer is? Call it by its name. Most people have never heard of Lobular Breast Cancer so the more we name it and talk about it, the more awareness we will raise.
