HOW about making 2002 a year to remember by asking all your readers to take up Breakthrough Breast Cancer's £1000 challenge?

They'd be in good company - many of Breakthrough's celebrity supporters have already raised £1,000 or more for Breakthrough's crucial research, including us.

This year is Breakthrough's 10th anniversary year. Ten years ago, its dream was to establish the first centre in the UK dedicated to breast cancer research.

Breakthrough's centre was opened by The Prince of Wales in 1999. Teams of world-class scientists are working hard looking into the reasons why breast cancer happens and how we can prevent it.

To fund this very important research, Breakthrough needs to raise over £5m every year.

This is where your readers can help. It doesn't matter how long it takes to raise £1,000.

They can do it with friends, at work, at school. Once they sign up to become a Challenger, Breakthrough will send them lots of information and tips on how to raise money and organise events.

And, for every £1,000 raised, Breakthrough's corporate partner Kodak will contribute an extra £100 up to a total of £100,000.

So please make that New Year's resolution now and call the Kodak/Breakthrough £1,000 Challenge hotline on 0207 557 6611.

Thank you very much - and a Happy New Year to you all.
