Investing in research has transformed breast cancer outcomes but until nobody dies from breast cancer, our work isn't done. 🩷

While research has helped reduce Australia’s breast cancer death rate by more than 40 per cent over the past three decades, nine people in Australia still die from the disease every day.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we commissioned consumer research that reveals a gap between people’s awareness and understanding of the impact of breast cancer. While most people recognise that breast cancer remains a significant health issue, many people underestimate its ongoing impact.

Encouragingly, Australians overwhelmingly recognise the critical role research plays in improving breast cancer outcomes, with nine in ten agreeing continued investment in breast cancer research is very or extremely important.

Behind every breast cancer death is a person whose future was cut short, leaving a story unfinished. Research gives more people the chance to finish their story.

Every story deserves the chance to be finished.

But for too many Australians, breast cancer takes away the moments that were meant to come next:

💐 The family wedding
📈 The next career step
⌚ The long-awaited retirement
👶 Meeting a new grandchild

Every day, nine Australians die from breast cancer, leaving futures cut short and stories unfinished.

That's why NBCF-funded researchers are working towards the breakthroughs that will help more people reach life's most important milestones.

Research gives more people the chance to finish their story.

And until nobody dies from breast cancer, our work isn't done. 💗

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re launching Unfinished Stories, shining a light on the lives still being cut short by breast cancer and a powerful reminder of why research matters.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is Australia’s leading not-for-profit organisation funding world-class breast cancer research towards our vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer. 🎀

Since our inception in 1994, NBCF has invested over $250 million into more than 650 world-class research grants across Australia, with international reach.

In this time, in large part due to research, the death rate from breast cancer in Australia has reduced by over 40%.

We’ve seen remarkable results, but the job’s not done. 9 Australians still lose their life every day to this disease.

We’re determined to create a better tomorrow. We know research matters, and it is central and critical to improving breast cancer outcomes. Together, we can make Zero Deaths from breast cancer possible.

How can we help the immune system better recognise and attack metastatic breast cancer?

🔬 Professor Belinda Parker and her team at @petermaccancercentre are investigating new ways to help the immune system recognise and attack metastatic breast cancer cells.

Co-funded by @nbcfaus and @mothersdayclassicaus, the team is testing promising new approaches to expose these cells, strengthen immune responses and deliver engineered immune cells directly to metastatic tumour sites.

This research has the potential to unlock more effective immunotherapies for metastatic breast cancer, improve outcomes for people living with the disease and give more people the chance to finish their story. 💗

“I was serving in the Navy when I received the phone call every family fears: Mum's breast cancer had returned.

For 2 years, mum lived with metastatic breast cancer with incredible strength, determination and hope. We made new memories wherever we could, but there were so many moments still ahead of her: retirement years, more family holidays and more time with the people she loved." 🩷

For Grace, losing her mum meant losing all the moments and milestones that should have come next.

Behind every breast cancer death is a story left unfinished. That's why continued investment in breast cancer research matters, helping more families have the time and milestones they deserve.

Research gives more people the chance to finish their story.

And until nobody dies from breast cancer, our work isn't done. 💗

💗 What a day. What a community. What an impact.

Hundreds of passionate supporters came together for the 19th annual Pink Ribbon Cup Raceday, united by a shared goal: funding life-saving breast cancer research.

Thanks to the incredible dedication of Robyn, the committee, volunteers, sponsors, partners and everyone who attended, this remarkable event has already raised more than $200,000 for breast cancer research this year, with fundraising still continuing.

For 19 years, the Pink Ribbon Cup has brought people together to make a difference, and year after year, this community continues to show the power of collective action.
