In 2008, the United States will have seen more than 180,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer among women and men, with more than 40,480 deaths from breast cancer. There will have been 1,990 men diagnosed and 450 deaths among men from breast cancer as well. We can’t continue to accept this. We must act! We must encourage other to act — with their feet, with their voices, and with their dollars.
YOU have the power to make a difference.
