Reasons We Must Fight Breast Cancer

This information is excerpted from my participant's guide and based on 2006 statistics from the American Cancer Society:

  1. A woman living in the U.S. has a 1 in 8 chance of developing breast cancer in her lifetime.
  2. A new case of breast cancer is diagnosed every 3 minutes.
  3. Breast cancer kills nearly 41,000 people a year--that equates to one every 13 minutes.
  4. No one knows what causes breast cancer or how it can be prevented.
  5. Men can get breast cancer too.

Frightening, huh?! For more information see www.avonfoundation.org
