Breast cancer is more than just a health issue—it’s a global challenge that affects millions of people, including over 55,900 individuals in the UK each year. This October 2024, Get Licensed is taking action by launching a breast cancer fundraiser that not only empowers individuals through our security courses but also supports those affected by this life-changing disease. Let’s explore how we’re making an impact and how you can join us in this vital cause.
Breast Cancer: Facts and Figures
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, with over 55,900 diagnoses each year—that’s more than 150 people every day. Of these, around 55,500 women and 370 men are affected annually, a stark reminder that this disease doesn’t discriminate.
Here are some key facts to consider:
- 1 in 7 women in the UK will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.
- The risk increases with age, making early detection critical.
- Understanding risk factors such as age, family history, and lifestyle choices like obesity and smoking highlights the importance of regular check-ups and healthy habits.
Awareness isn’t just important during October—it’s essential year-round. By staying informed, we can help more people catch the disease early and improve their chances of survival.
