Since 1994, the National Breast Cancer Foundation has invested $232 million in 642 breast cancer research projects. In this time: • The death rate from breast cancer has reduced by over 40%. • The five-year relative survival rate for breast cancer has increased to 92%. As someone who was born only one year prior to this, it is truly incredible to be able to look at these achievements and reflect on how much has changed just within my lifetime. I am grateful every day for the opportunity to work alongside individuals and organisations whose contributions made all of this possible, and who continue to work with us towards a future of Zero Deaths from breast cancer 💕 If you’d like to know more about the impact made over the last 30 years, please read our Impact Report: https://lnkd.in/ghgpc8zM
