Army of Women

Thanks to my friend, Wendy, for mentioning me on her Afternoon Quicky today.

If you want to know more about me and my story, all you have to do is click “About Me” on the right. You can also scroll down to my labels, and click on anything that strikes your fancy.

I wanted to mention another great website. This is something you can do for breast cancer research, and it doesn’t cost a cent. Army of Women, a group started by Dr. Susan Love and Avon, wants women of all ages and race, to sign up on their website to help breast cancer research. You do not have to have any history at all of breast cancer. Go sign up at Army of Women. Right now they have 276,607 women signed up, and their goal is to have one million women. You can also find a widget for their blog on my sidebar.

C’mon…go be woman number 276,608!

Sister Study

So, have you heard about the Army of Women? Here’s a blurb I copied from their website:

The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation and the Avon Foundation, a global leader in breast cancer research, joined forces to launch the Love/Avon Army of Women.

Our revolutionary initiative has two key goals:

* To recruit one million healthy women of every age and ethnicity, including breast cancer survivors and women at high-risk for the disease, to partner with breast cancer researchers and directly participate in the research that will eradicate breast cancer once and for all.
* To challenge the scientific community to expand its current focus to include breast cancer prevention research conducted on healthy women.

Join us in this movement that will take us beyond a cure by creating new opportunities to study what causes breast cancer—and how to prevent it.

Look for my new Army of Women widget, over in my sidebar!

Right now, Army of Women is looking for sisters of women who have had breast cancer. This research project needs African American women to be completed. Can you help?
