One in
eight women will be diagnosed
with breast cancer over her lifetime.
While statistics say something, the GOOD NEWS is early detection has
proven to be breast cancers strongest opponent. And it's something you
have control over. The purpose of our work is to spread the good news.
"NONE in EIGHT" is the objective...
and our goal.
A simple exam you can do yourself. A simple exam your daughter can do
herself.
A simple exam that takes that one in eight and turns into NONE in EIGHT.
EDUCATION
AWARENESS
And the chance to stack the odds in our
favor!

You know, we have talked about
one in eight for over 12 years.
And.... you're all still here.
Maybe it's our group. Maybe it's luck. But then again, maybe it's only
time.
You know, if you take those 12 years and divide it by the odds we
recognize,
it translates to one point five in every female here, today, being
affected..
That, simply put, and get the math, means out of everyone of our female
guests,
someone has cheated the odds.
Breast cancer does not know numbers.
It does not know race, background, family, or friends.
It does know odds.
While treatment has improved, and early detection has proven beneficial,
these are only tools to those whom pay attention.
And added attention comes from education.
Education that costs dollars.
So what's our challenge?
Beat IT... Beat IT
Before the troubling news is ours.
Beat IT
Before the odds translate directly.
Simply put....
Beat IT.
Every dollar we raise.... Every dollar we donate,
translates to improving and changing the statistics.
And, frankly, we are nothing more than that. Statistics.
Statistics awaiting a time when we fit the model of the disease.
Statistics knowing it's a disease we can beat.
A disease we WILL beat.
A disease that WE can change forever.
Despite the odds.
