Are you a woman aged 18 or over?
Do you live in the UK?
Would like to help discover the causes of Breast Cancer?

I don’t know whether you’ve seen previous publicity, but Breakthrough Generations plans to be the largest and longest scientific study, with over 100,000 participants. It involves filling out a detailed questionnaire (quite lengthy – I found I needed a bit of detective work to complete it all, including asking my mother relevant family history) and providing a blood sample, with follow ups every couple of years.

So far, they have received questionnaires and blood samples from over 42,000 women in the UK (including mine!), so are well on their way to reaching their target.

To find out more about how you can participate and hopefully help the prevention of breast cancer in the future, you can request an information pack from their website.
