October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to come together, raise awareness, and take action against one of the most common and life-changing diseases affecting people around the world. At Lumos, we believe in shining a light not only through music, but through meaningful impact. That’s why our Charity of the Month is Worldwide Cancer Research, a global organisation dedicated to funding pioneering scientific discoveries that help prevent, diagnose, and treat all types of cancer.
About Worldwide Cancer Research
Worldwide Cancer Research is a UK-based charity with a truly global mission, to start new cures for cancer. They fund scientists at the very beginning of their research journeys, giving them the support they need to explore bold ideas and uncover the breakthroughs that can one day save lives. Since 1979, they’ve funded over 2,000 research projects in more than 35 countries, covering everything from understanding how cancer starts to developing new treatments and improving early detection. Every donation helps spark the discoveries that lead to tomorrow’s cures.
🎗 Why It Matters
Breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, affecting millions of women and some men every year. Thanks to research, survival rates have dramatically improved, but there’s still more work to be done. Continued funding into early detection, prevention, and innovative treatments is vital to ensure that more people can live longer, healthier lives after diagnosis.
By supporting Worldwide Cancer Research, we’re helping to fund the science that could stop cancer before it even starts. It’s a cause that touches every family, every community, and all of us at Lumos.
