We're just like you. We're mothers, daughters, sisters, teachers, business executives, retirees, students...you name it. But the one thing we all have in common is our dedication to change for better outcomes. And the more supporters we have, the bigger impact we can all make together. Learn More about breast cancer facts and what it means to be of service, a volunteer, a supporter and or a donor. Your generous contributions enable us to continue to provide exceptional service. It's just that simple. Take advantage of the opportunity by supporting one or more of our events. We at My Sister My Friend Breast Cancer Support are greatly appreciative of your contributions to change and would like to thank you! |

Breast Health Awareness--"We Can't Afford to Wait" |
In closing, we would like to share a powerful message sent to us by Dr. David Pryor of "Blackwomenshealth.com". Dr. Pryor personally wrote and narrates his message, he sent it to us asking that we share it with women who may be putting off getting screened. Why African American women can not afford to wait to get screened. It is here for educational purposes only. Thanks Dr. Pryor it was my pleasure to have connect with you.
