What is Breast Cancer Awareness Month?
Breast Cancer Awareness Month, observed every October, has been a vital initiative in the fight against one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide. Launched in 1985 by the American Cancer Society and pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, the event aims to raise awareness about breast cancer, encourage early detection, and ultimately fund research. The iconic pink ribbon, first introduced in 1991 by the Susan G. Komen Foundation, has become a symbol of solidarity and hope, reminding everyone of the millions of lives impacted by this disease.
Educating the public about early detection and prevention is critical to improving survival rates. Regular screenings, mammograms, and self-examinations can lead to earlier diagnosis when treatment is most effective. Beyond medical awareness, the month is also important in highlighting the emotional and social challenges faced by those diagnosed with breast cancer and their loved ones.
Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month can take many forms, from participating in charity runs to organising local fundraising events or wearing pink to show solidarity. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an important tool for Against Breast Cancer in making a real difference in the fight against breast cancer. If you want to support the charity beyond Breast Cancer Awareness Month, why not choose Against Breast Cancer as your chosen charity when becoming a Savoo member? After claiming a discount or deal, you will raise free donations for Against Breast Cancer whenever you shop online.
Reduce your risk of developing breast cancer
Awareness leads to action. Evidence suggests around 23% of UK breast cancers may be preventable through lifestyle choices. Here are practical, research-informed steps you can consider. Always follow advice from your healthcare team.
- Maintain a healthy weight
-
Keeping to a healthy weight is linked with lower post‑menopausal breast cancer risk.
- Be physically active
-
Regular movement supports weight control, hormone balance and overall health.
- More wholegrains, veg, fruit & beans
-
Build most meals from plant foods to promote a protective dietary pattern.
- Limit fast foods
-
Highly processed, energy‑dense foods make weight management harder over time.
- Limit red & processed meat
-
Choose fish, pulses and plant proteins more often.
- Reduce sugar‑sweetened drinks
-
Liquid sugars add calories quickly and can drive weight gain.
- Limit alcohol intake
-
There’s no completely risk‑free level of alcohol for cancer prevention.
- Breastfeed if possible
-
Breastfeeding provides health benefits for both mother and baby.
- Don’t rely on supplements
-
Use food, not supplements, for cancer prevention unless your clinician advises otherwise.

Understanding breast cancer
Breast cancer happens when cells in breast tissue change and multiply abnormally, creating a lump or growth. In some cases, these cells can move beyond the breast and affect other parts of the body. Although the condition mainly affects women, it is not exclusive to them. A small number of men are also diagnosed every year in the UK. With nearly 55,000 women receiving a diagnosis annually, breast cancer is the most common cancer in the country.
Spotting breast cancer early can make all the difference. When the disease is picked up at an early stage, treatment is often more effective, and survival rates are much higher. Later diagnoses are more challenging to treat successfully. That’s why being breast-aware is so important. Noticing new lumps, changes in size or shape, skin dimpling, or nipple changes, and attending regular screening invitations can all help save lives.
About Against Breast Cancer
The charitable organisation Against Breast Cancer funds projects to develop less invasive treatments, improve early detection methods, and identify lifestyle factors that can reduce the risk of recurrence. It was founded in 1993 by husband-and-wife team Anthony and Patricia Brindle after Patricia was diagnosed with breast cancer. Over the years, the charity has grown to become a well-respected organisation, working with renowned research institutions across the UK.
At the core of Against Breast Cancer’s work is its commitment to cutting-edge research, particularly in the area of secondary breast cancer, which is responsible for most breast cancer-related deaths. Cancer cells from the original breast tumour can travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system to other areas, where they may form new tumours, known as secondary breast cancer. Donations play a critical role in supporting this research, which seeks to uncover the biological triggers that cause breast cancer cells to spread to other parts of the body.
Beyond research, Against Breast Cancer uses donations to raise awareness and provide support to individuals living with breast cancer. Every donation made to the charity is funnelled into projects that bring hope to women and men affected by breast cancer, including their loved ones. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Against Breast Cancer wants you to get involved in fundraising. Download the free Fundraising pack to learn more.
