My mother, Candy, had a long and painful fight with breast, small squamous cell, and eventually, lymphatic cancer. One of the things that made mom's fight so tough was her poor access to quality healthcare and lack of advocacy. I have specifically chosen this Breast Cancer Foundation because of its focus not only on cancer research, but on equal access to quality treatments and assisting with patient advocacy. Please consider donating to this foundation to prevent other families from experiencing this hardship no matter what their background is.
