Help Us #BeTheEnd Of Breast Cancer In America!
Continuing or efforts towards increased involvement with social causes, for the month of October we will be showing support and raising awareness for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. BCRF, the #1 rated Breast Cancer Charity, has raised over a half billion dollars towards advances in tumor biology, genetics, prevention, treatment, metastasis and survivorship. Next year, The BCRF will arm 250 of the nation’s brightest scientists with $57 million dollars to aid in their research. This will aid in their attempts to continue successful medicine treatments, while also allowing them to try new and innovative approaches to beating the disease. Cancer affects almost every single person on earth. Whether fighting the disease ourselves or supporting a loved one in their battle, cancer has touched many lives. While “awareness” might seem unnecessary at this point in humanity’s fight against cancer, continuing to raise money and show support is still a vital goal for many organizations. With our support, one day hopefully in the near future one of these organizations will one find a cure and save countless future lives.We will be making a donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, to learn more about their mission visit their website here: https://www.bcrfcure.orgStartling Breast Cancer Statistics and Figures:
