Walking is also an ambulation of mind. -Gretel Ehrlich, novelist, poet, and essayist (1946- )
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women in the U.S. This year, over 42,000 women are expected to die of the disease. There is no way to prevent breast cancer, but if it is detected early, it can often be treated successfully. There is no way to cure breast cancer, but medical research is closer to that goal than ever before.
Imagine knowing that because of us, tens of thousands of women will be reached with life-saving early detection services and researchers may soon find a cure.
