Remember for every £1 raised 50 pence will be
shared between TAUNTON YEOVIL BATH &
WESTON SUPER MARE breast cancer clinics.
The remaining 50 pence will go to Breakthrough Breast Cancer for
vital research into breast cancer
to fund vital research at the
Toby Robins Breast Cancer Research Centre.
The Centre, which was opened in 1999, is the Uk's first
dedicated breast cancer research centre. It is recognised
as a centre of excellence working in partnership with the
Institute of Cancer Research.
Breakthrough also campaigns for
polices that support breast cancer research & better
services.

continue to be at the front of the fight to gain access to
the drug Herceptin to be available to all women who might
benefit"

the support of the local community to purchase equipment
& keep up to date with technological advances. We are
very grateful to the Somerset Breakthrough Group for
their support".
