 42,000 WOMEN DIE EACH YEAR OF BREAST CANCER,  WHY?

 

  • DID YOU KNOW THAT THE BAY AREA IS A HOTSPOT FOR BREAST CANCER?
  • DID YOU KNOW THAT THE STATISTIC HAS RECENTLY RISEN FROM 1 IN 10 TO 1 IN 9 WOMEN IN THE U.S. WHO WILL BE DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER?

WE ARE MEETING TO ORGANIZE BREAST CANCER ACTION,  OUR GOALS ARE EDUCATION AND POLITICAL ACTION TO PREVENT A FURTHER RISE IN THE INCIDENCE OF BREAST CANCER; INDEED, WE HOPE THAT OUR EFFORTS WILL SERVE IN THE FUTURE TO LOWER THE BREAST CANCER RATE IN THE UNITED STATES.
