Calling all ladies!!!

My fantastic Aunt Mimi sent me an email about a new breast cancer website. It is www.armyofwoman.org. This is a copy of their "about us" page.

The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation and the Avon Foundation, a global leader in breast cancer research, joined forces to launch the Love/Avon Army of Women.

Our revolutionary initiative has two key goals:

  • To recruit one million healthy women of every age and ethnicity, including breast cancer survivors and women at high-risk for the disease, to partner with breast cancer researchers and directly participate in the research that will eradicate breast cancer once and for all.
  • To challenge the scientific community to expand its current focus to include breast cancer prevention research conducted on healthy women.

Join us in this movement that will take us beyond a cure by creating new opportunities to study what causes breast cancer—and how to prevent it.

Go to the page and sign up. You don't have to give any money or time unless you want to. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so do something. Sign up to be a volunteer, do a breast exam, get a mammogram, call your mom, sister or grandma, do something!!!!
