Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2008

Breast Cancer Awareness Month will take place in October.

You can help your patients to support the fight against breast cancer with our range of Vulkan Pink supports.

When you buy a product from our Vulkan Pink range, we’ll donate 25% of the price to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

Vulkan Pink supports are available for the ankle, knee, elbow and wrist.

When your patients are in need of an effective support, by recommending a Vulkan Pink support, not only are you helping your patient, but you’re also helping to fund research into a cure for breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month takes place each October and aims to increase awareness of the disease, raise funds for research into breast cancer and support those people affected by this devastating disease.

Run by Breakthrough Breast Cancer, the UK’s leading charity committed to fighting breast cancer through research, campaigning and education, it is the most well known campaign supporting breast cancer.

Key facts about breast cancer:

• Nearly one in three cases of cancer in women is breast cancer
• Over 46,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year
• More than 1000 women die from breast cancer each month
• There are 300 men diagnosed with breast cancer each year

Thanks to support from those who have donated, treatments are being discovered and 80% of women with breast cancer are now able to survive for at least five years.

By recommending a Vulkan Pink support to your patients, you’ll be helping the fight against breast cancer.

As Vulkan Pink supports support your patients, they’ll be supporting Breakthrough Breast Cancer with your help.
