Stop Breast Cancer

Approximately 3 million women in the United States are living with breast cancer: 2 million have been diagnosed and an estimated 1 million do not know they even have the disease.
In the United States, 1 out of 7 women will develop breast cancer in her life - a risk that was 1 in 11 in 1975.
