Dear friends and family,
I am participating in the Pink and Teal challenge sponsored by the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester.
In case you don’t already know, the Breast Cancer Coalition changes the lives of those touched by a breast or gynecologic cancer diagnosis through their 4 pillars: Research, Education, Support and Advocacy.
They have committed nearly $1 million to researching causes, prevention, and a cure for breast cancer since 2003. They provide almost 900 hours of support and educational groups for breast and gyn survivors annually, at no cost to them.* They advocate for legislation that benefit survivors at all levels of government.
I could go on and on about the specific challenges our community's survivors face, especially as the pandemic continues. But instead, I’d like to share a quote from a survivor the Coalition has recently assisted:
Thank you for your consideration - I personally appreciate it,
Sincerely,
Ellen Oberton
P.S. If you'd like to learn more about the great work the Breast Cancer Coalition does, check out their website, give them a follow on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn.
*If you or someone you know has been touched by a breast or gynecologic cancer diagnosis, and is in need of Coalition services, please contact the Breast Cancer Coalition here.
