Charity Ball 2014 A

warm welcome to all of you who have joined us this evening for our Annual Affinity Charity Ball. This year it’s in aid of ‘Breakthrough Breast Cancer’ a cause that I know is close to many people’s hearts. We hope to raise as much as possible to help towards vital research so that one day no one else has to die, and to remind women that knowing their own bodies could save their lives.

Tonight is not only about making money and raising as much as we can for Breakthrough it is also about having fun, because in the words of the younger generation YOLO (You Only Live Once!)

Raising funds for Breakthrough started last year for me when with the help of nine local girls (who I have to say were all great fun and fantastic sports) we put together our own Affinity Calendar girls Calendar!! The support we had for this was amazing and the inspirational people I met along the way made me very humble and inspired me to continue fundraising for such a worthwhile cause. If the monies raised tonight can help towards research and saving lives even just a little bit, then we should all feel very proud of ourselves.

I have had some tremendous support whilst putting this evening together and for that I am extremely grateful and all I can say is “Thank you”.

Finally, introductory words for this event would be incomplete without my sincere gratitude and thanks to all those generous people who have donated the superb items included in tonight’s Auction and Raffle.

I hope you have a wonderful evening, and remember “Never, Never, Never Give Up!”

ights like tonight are absolutely vital to Breakthrough Breast Cancer. Your support and generosity enable us to continue to invest in life saving research,

In the last twenty years, the campaign to beat breast cancer has gone from strength to strength, and more women are outliving the disease than ever before. But, it’s still the most common form of cancer in the UK. It is estimated that there are 500,000 people living today that have been diagnosed with the disease.

More people are surviving breast cancer than ever before. Over 80% of women with breast cancer are still alive five years after diagnosis, thanks to advances in research, new treatments, earlier diagnosis, breast screening and breast cancer awareness.

However, we still continue to lose too many mothers, daughters, sisters, wives and friends to this disease. That’s why research and raising awareness of breast cancer is vital.

This month, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Checking your breasts regularly can be crucial to early diagnosis of breast cancer; when the chances of successful treatment and survival are greatest.

Breakthrough Breast Cancer is more than a name. It’s a force. A force of thousands of people across the UK working together with a single-minded ambition to stop women dying from breast cancer. We will achieve this by finding new treatments, discovering the causes, promoting early detection and ensuring the best possible care for women diagnosed with the disease.

Thank you to Jane for organising this evening and to all of you for your fabulous support Enjoy yourselves and have a great evening!
