Together, we can continue to fight breast cancer and provide vital support to those who need it most.
Ladies Fighting Breast Cancer (LFBC) was established in 2000 by Veronica Kumeta and the late Sue Macmaster after their friend Carol Knaggs was diagnosed with breast cancer. Despite their own battles with cancer, Sue and Carol’s legacy lives on through LFBC, which has supported hundreds of men and women for more than two decades.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the UK, with nearly 55,000 diagnosed annually—equivalent to one every 10 minutes. LFBC is dedicated to making a difference through initiatives like Hug-in-a-Bag, which has delivered over 4,750 bags filled with comforting items to patients across 27 Midlands hospitals, all free of charge thanks to the generosity of our supporters.
Breast cancer affects one in eight women in the UK, and risk increases with age, with 80% of cases occurring in women over 50. LFBC’s work is crucial in providing emotional and practical support during these challenging times. As we observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, your support can help us continue our mission. Donations directly fund our efforts to bring comfort and hope to those facing this difficult journey.
