Campaign Story
I am an artist located in Cyprus and I am trying to raise funds to create body casts for an Art Exhibition promoting awareness of breast cancer and what women's bodies go through with chemo and how it changes their body and the way they see themselves after.
One of the casts will be donated after the exhibition to the Europa Donna Foundation that is a non profitable organisation for the research of breast cancer.
Breast Cancer Facts

- There are more than twice as many new breast cancer cases annually than new cases of cancer in any other site.1
- Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the WHO Europe region women with an estimated incidence of 562,500 in 2018.2
- Incidence in the EU-28 in 2018 was estimated to be 404,920. 2
- 1 in 8 women in the EU-28 will develop breast cancer before the age of 85.3
- An average of 20% of breast cancer cases in Europe occur in women when they are younger than 50 years old; 36% occur at age 50–64 and the remaining cases in women above this age.2 Breast cancer therefore affects many women during their years dedicated to working and raising a family.
- Breast cancer has the highest mortality of any cancer in women worldwide.
- Breast cancer claims the lives of more European women than any other cancer.
