What is The Aviva Weekend to Breakthrough Breast Cancer?

The Aviva Weekend to Breakthrough Breast Cancer is simply this - an awesome life changing adventure. During one amazing weekend, 15 - 17th September, 2006, thousands of women and men will unite in London to walk 60 kilometres in a bold display of courage and commitment. It’s a weekend of hope, as we honour lives lost, celebrate those battling breast cancer now, and help bring breast cancer care to those who so desperately need it. This extraordinary weekend is about finding the hero in yourself and discovering strength you never knew you had. The Aviva Weekend to Breakthrough Breast Cancer is an event organised by Breakthrough Weekend Ltd., which is wholly owned by and gives all its taxable profits to Breakthrough Breast Cancer, registered charity number 1062636 under the Gift Aid Scheme. We have engaged CauseForce, Inc. and CauseForce, UK Ltd. to manage the event.

The money you help raise will benefit Breakthrough Breast Cancer, a leader in the fight against breast cancer, and help them get closer to their vision of a future free from the fear of breast cancer. One in every nine British women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Maybe someone in your life has been affected. It could be your mother, sister, daughter, or a friend. The Aviva Weekend to Breakthrough Breast Cancer is your chance to go the distance in the fight against this disease; it’s your chance to be a hero for someone you love or someone you may never even meet.

The Aviva Weekend to Breakthrough Breast Cancer is a journey you will never forget.

Net proceeds from The Aviva Weekend to Breakthrough Breast Cancer will help fund the critical work of Breakthrough Breast Cancer, the leading charity committed to fighting the disease through research and education. Having established the UK’s first dedicated breast cancer research centre, Breakthrough’s scientific work ultimately aims to eradicate breast cancer by discovering its causes, finding methods of prevention and developing new treatments.

Jeremy Hughes, Chief Executive of Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said of the first Breakthrough Weekend in London in 2005: “The Weekend to Breakthrough Breast Cancer is unique, it’s the first time the UK has seen anything like this. We’ve brought together a massive group of people over one weekend who are making a huge difference in the fight against breast cancer. We are so grateful for the fantastic efforts of our supporters their dedication to Breakthrough is astounding.”
