Ways you can support us
The Breast Cancer Research Trust and Te Whatu Ora Health NZ - Waikato do not receive any formal government funding for breast cancer research. With each clinical trial costing at least $200,000 to run we rely on FUNdraising, donations, grants and sponsorship to ensure we can continue our evidence-based breast cancer research in pursuit of the BEST.
Research is the best weapon we have to fight breast cancer. By providing wāhine/women with access to clinical trials, we can advance our knowledge of breast cancer, discover best-practice treatments, and get patients the outcomes they so desperately hope for.
With your support we will be able to:
set up even more clinical trials
cover the cost of clinical trial related surgeries and expensive equipment
send blood and tumour samples to specalised laboratories overseas
pay for the dispensing of trial drugs by trial pharmacists
survey women’s quality of life in relation to reconstruction surgery or trial treatments
ensure our research staff attend training courses, workshops and conferences for their professional development and continuing education
assist breast cancer specialist staff to attend educational conferences and meetings in relation to improving breast cancer care
purchase subscriptions and memberships to professional organisations
support research nurses to attend weekly breast multidisciplinary meetings on management of new breast cancer cases
assist with costs of publications and dissemination of research results to the medical and wider communities
advertise and promote our clinical trials to reach as many potential participants as possible
provide people with information leaflets about us, our research and clinical trials
the majority of people that participate in a clinical trial say they do so because they want to make a difference for future generations and they are making a difference. We want to ensure that their journey with us is as stress-free as possible
