On The Road To The Cure

On the Road to the cure

Breast Cancer Campaign’s Chief Executive, Baroness Delyth Morgan, has set off on a tour of the UK and Ireland.

Over the coming months, Delyth will be visiting a number of Campaign-funded scientists in their labs from Belfast to Manchester, Southampton to Galway and Cardiff to Dundee and to find out a bit more about the research we fund.

We will update you with the stories that Delyth uncovers from each of her visits. We hope that the videos and information from each stop will give you a further insight into the fantastic research we’re funding with your support.

Delyth visits Guy's Hospital in London
London: Guy's Hospital

The first stop on Delyth’s tour was London where she visited Dr Elinor Sawyer and her team at Guy’s Hospital. Dr Sawyer talked about her work studying lobular breast cancer and non-invasive types of breast cancer called lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Delyth, looking very scientist-like in her lab coat, was given a tour of Dr Sawyer’s lab to see first-hand some of her incredible work.

Delyth said: “This first stop of my tour has been just as interesting and inspiring as I’d hoped. Meeting Elinor and her team and hearing about their fascinating work only confirms how important your support is to Breast Cancer Campaign.

“Thanks to you, Campaign has funded a total of £40million of grants throughout the UK and Ireland, which means that researchers like Elinor can continue their important work to help us understand breast cancer and ultimately one day find a cure."
