A Shout at Your Local Could Cure Breast Cancer
Saying “cheers” at your local pub this month could literally save lives by raising money for a cutting edge research project.
The Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group has joined forces with the PA Research Foundation to raise over $100,000 for the PA Breast Cancer Research Project – an investigation into the mysterious ABC cancer cluster that could forever change the way we understand cancer.
Dr Glenn Francis’ and his team are investigating if cancer can be a virus – exploring the trail of how viruses may transform our understanding of how cancer operates.
They are virus hunters who need financial backing in the hope there may one day be a breast cancer vaccine, like the cervical cancer vaccine already developed at the PA.
This mystery cluster affected 16 women from the same workplace – the majority were young with no family history of the disease and no environmental cause was found for the illness.
The virus theory investigation is a controversial idea with extraordinary implications.
Lisa Backhouse former ABC news reporter is one of the 16 women who developed breast cancer while working at the ABC Television Studios in Brisbane. “I want researchers to find what’s causing breast, I want them to find it today. I want them to find it yesterday. I want them to be able to say, “this is what causes it, there is a needle to stop it and no one else will ever have to suffer from it again” That’s what I want them to say. Please support this fundraiser in July to help women living with breast cancer”. Lisa Backhouse
A cancer cure is the holy grail of medical research. Finding the cause offers a chance to arrest it and put a stop to the staggering incidence of breast cancer.
Every Friday in the month of July, each ALH associated hotel across Queensland will host fund-raising events to help raise $100,000 for breast cancer research for the PA Research Foundation.
Please join us to kick off this campaign that may provide long awaited answers about this disease that kills 7 Australian women every day and 2500 every year. You can show your support this month by visiting any Queensland Hotel running the promotion and making a donation or by buying a Grazier steak and $2 of every purchase will go directly to the cause.
