Breast Health Resources

Army of Women - this revolutionary initiative has two key goals:                                    

• To recruit one million 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.

Please visit: www.armyofwomen.org The initiative is a collaboration of the Avon Foundation and the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation.
