Cancer - breast news and cancer - breast widget

Benefact has launched the "Will for a Cure" campaign for breast cancer Awareness month to raise money for breast cancer research. This is the first fundraising event of its kind. The campaign asks everyone who wants to help breast cancer research and who has not completed their will to go to http://www.willforacure.

The University of Newcastle has received a record $14.8 million from the National health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). Funding for four research projects into asthma, breast cancer, stroke and mental illness accounts for almost half of the total amount awarded to the University. Professor Barney Glover, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research), said the funding would support 18 research projects as well as infrastructure and equipment.
