In October, we honor Breast Cancer Awareness. In 2024, more than 360,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer. But, there is hope. Advancements in early detection methods and support continue to increase the chances of survival. When caught in its earliest localized stages, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%. Head to the National Breast Cancer Foundation to learn more and donate to this beautiful cause: https://lnkd.in/gx7bsq-a #BreastCancerAwareness #SupportTheCause#BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #BreastCancerSupport #EarlyDetectionSavesLives

Know the Facts: 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer. Early detection saves lives. Get Screened: Mammograms (age 40+). Clinical breast exams. Self-exams. Support Those Affected: Wear pink to show solidarity. Donate to breast cancer research.

Pancreatic Cancer, a leading cause of cancer-related deaths, receives half the funding of lung cancer research and less than 1/3 the funding of breast cancer research. It's time to change this disparity. Join us at DASH for Detection June 8 at Montrose Harbor to help us raise funds for early detection to help beat these odds. 💜 Click the link to join us! https://ow.ly/CA7k50S17yw #DASHforDetection #KnowMyRisk #EarlyDetection #PancreaticCancer #PancreasCancer #PancreaticCancerResearch #PancreaticCancerAwareness #StrongerThanCancer #25YearsOfProgress #5KRun #FamilyFunRun
