The Pampered Chef® UK began its partnership with Cancer Research UK in 2007, for the Help Whip Cancer® campaign. The aim of the partnership is to raise vital funds for research into breast cancer and to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.

Throughout Breast Cancer AwarenessMonth in October, limited-edition pink products are available for purchase and for each product sold £1 is donated to Cancer Research UK. During October, customers can also host Help Whip Cancer® Fundraising Cooking Shows where up to 25 percent of Show sales are contributed to Cancer Research UK. In the first year of the partnership, more than £173,000 was donated to Cancer Research UK.

According to Cancer Research UK, breast cancer remains the most common form of cancer among women. One woman in nine will develop breast cancer in her lifetime, and more than 44,000 cases are diagnosed each year in the UK alone. Thanks to early detection through regular mammograms and effective treatment, the five-year survival rate has improved from 50 percent in the early 1970s to an astounding 80 percent now.

Cancer Research UK is the largest single funder of breast cancer research in the UK.  They rely almost solely on donations from the general public; they receive virtually no government funding. It is only with support from companies like The Pampered Chef® and individuals that Cancer Research UK is able to continue their life saving work.

Cancer Research UK is the UK's leading charity dedicated to cancer research. They carry out scientific research to help prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. Cancer Research UK has discovered new ways of beating cancer that have saved hundreds of thousands of lives across the world.

Cancer Research UK provides life-changing information to patients, their families and friends, and runs cancer awareness campaigns to help people reduce their risk of the disease.

Their campaigning and lobbying helps keep cancer at the top of the political agenda. Its groundbreaking work, funded almost entirely by the general public, will ensure that thousands more people survive.
