Breast Cancer Survivors must be heard. They must
have a voice in the medical, legislative, insurance
and corporate communities throughout this state.
The Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition is
the voice for breast cancer survivors in our Commonwealth.
We know that the only way to end the breast
cancer epidemic is to find a cure for breast cancer.
Since 1993, when we founded the PBCC we have dedicated
our lives to this mission. The PBCC is the only
statewide grassroots breast cancer organization,
and we represent patients, survivors, families,
medical professionals, government, labor, and
industry leaders.
Our highly acclaimed statewide outreach efforts
include Friends Like Me™; our traveling
photo exhibit, 67 Women - 67 Counties: Facing
Breast Cancer in Pennsylvania™; the Income Tax
Check Off for Breast Cancer Research, and the
PA Breast Cancer Coalition Annual Conference. These
vital life-saving programs raise thousands of
dollars for research, create awareness, provide
free care packages to new survivors, and educate the public.
My battle with breast cancer ignites my resolve
to make certain that our generation is the last
to ever fear breast cancer. As a new grandmother,
I thank you for joining the PBCC's efforts "to
find a cure now... so our daughters and
granddaughters won't have to." |
