AUST | NBCF | RAISING | Awareness, Support and Funds Towards Zero Deaths From Breast Cancer | Thursday 17 October 2024 | From 9am

[Edited extract from public address]

Together let’s make Zero Deaths from breast cancer possible.

Big strides are being made - thanks to donors. Professor Paul James is uncovering the hidden genetics of breast cancer, while supporters are stepping up in powerful ways. Every action, every dollar, every story brings us closer to a future where no one dies from breast cancer. 

Breaking the Chain

Donor support powers genetic research uncovering hidden breast cancer risks – bringing hope to Australian families. Thanks to ongoing support, groundbreaking research into hereditary breast cancer is unlocking new possibilities. 

Professor Paul James, a leader in genetic research, is investigating how combinations of over 300 genes influence breast cancer risk. His work is revealing why some families are more vulnerable – and how we can better predict, prevent, and treat this disease. Only 18% of hereditary cases are linked to a single gene, making your support vital in uncovering the rest of the story. 

Donations are not just supporting research – they’re changing lives and giving hope to families across Australia.
