WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
Your efforts can make a big impact
The Irish Cancer Society typically receives approximately 5% of its income from the Government, so it’s thanks to the generosity of our wonderful donors, fundraisers and volunteers that we can provide services and support to ensure nobody in Ireland faces breast cancer alone.
Your generous donations fund ground-breaking breast cancer research and provide free support services and care to people affected by breast cancer, throughout Ireland.
Be breast aware this October
EARLY DETECTION IS KEY
It is important that everyone be breast aware. This means knowing what is normal for you, so that you can spot any changes. While breast cancer is more common in women over 50, those under 50 can also be affected.
The sooner you notice a change the better, because if cancer is found early, treatment is more likely to be successful. Get into the habit of looking at and feeling your breasts every month. This will help you to notice any change if it occurs.
