For my friends ... but particularly by women friends. This website was started today by Dr. Susan Love to try and follow and study healthy women *before* they get breast cancer. This is a blurb from their site:
From
Army of Women About Us
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.
