Hello , 


Sep2011-TwoCandle

On September 1, 2011, we celebrated the 2-Year Anniversary of the launch of the Get In Touch Girls' Program & Daisy Wheels.

 

Since then, Daisy Wheels have rolled into 44 states and 19 countries...over 100,000 girls have received Daisy Wheels and an introduction to the role that breast health should play in their glorious lives.

We provide Daisy Wheels FREE to schools...and we do it with your support, and the support of so many who support our mission to "change the world one girl at a time."

We also provide Daisy Wheels (at a cost) to cancer centers and breast centers, gynecologist and pediatric offices.  Our Get In Touch Girls' Program & Daisy Wheels are being recognized as a game-changer in the world of breast health education.

Eleanor Roosevelt said it well...and the beauty of my dream, born seven years ago, when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer, was to be able to develop and provide a free breast health educational program to girls that would make their future brighter and healthier. 

We're well on our way!

Hope Lives!
