Dr Phillip lau is the Head & Senior Consultant of the Division of General Surgery and Head, Breast & Trauma Services at the Department of Surgery, NUH. He helped form the Asian Hereditary Breast Cancer Association and the Asian Breast Disease Association, and hopes to to find Asian solutions for Asian problems in breast cancer and wants to spread awareness of breast cancer and its risks.
In his first 6 month in Singapore, his colleague Mikael Hartman saw more advanced breast cancer cases and deaths in Asia than his last 10 years in Sweden. When he mentioned this to Phillip, they both decided: “It doesn’t have to be like this”.
Phillip and Mikael decided to do The Long Ride, journeying 23,000km across 17 countries on our trusty motorcycles from Singapore to Sweden to:
+ Raise awareness about breast cancer to the people we meet
+Find out what problems they face in treating and reducing deaths from breast cancer
+Raise fund for Asian Breast Cancer Research Fund
+Find the “Face of Breast Cancer in Asia
