Urge your senators to support the EARLY Act

When breast cancer occurs in women under age 40, it is often detected at later stages, is more likely to be aggressive, and less likely to be responsive to hormone therapies. There is a lack of awareness about the risks of breast cancer for young women and the unique challenges facing young women with breast cancer. This important bill would change that.  CLICK HERE to take action.

One in eight American women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime.  In 2008 alone, an estimated 40,930 women and men will die in the U.S. from breast cancer. 2.4 million breast cancer survivors and their families want breast cancer to be a priority.  We want elected officials to stand with us and do their part to end breast cancer forever.  More than 90 percent of voters want the federal government to pay more attention to breast cancer research, screening and early detection and access to quality care for all, according to a recent nationwide survey commissioned by the Komen Advocacy Alliance.
