With one woman diagnosed every 10 minutes in the UK, and 55,000 women and 400 men receiving a breast cancer diagnosis annually, this support is more crucial than ever.

Everyone Active manages leisure and fitness facilities in partnership with local authorities across the UK. This fundraising campaign is part of the company's broader commitment to supporting important causes that benefit the communities they serve.
