I'm kicking off Breast Cancer Awareness month by participating in the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation's third annual blogger initiative, to Act With Love. Hoping to use my voice to help further breast cancer research by encouraging you (my readers) to turn your awareness into action. Awareness is fantastic, and is the catalyst for action-- but we need more action to have a cure. For such a prevalent disease, we still know so little about breast cancer. 1 in 8 women will be affected by this diagnosis, and research will help us develop targeted treatments for a cure and recurrence.
How do I Act with Love?
Despite the reigning success of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and millions of dollars raised, we still have very little knowledge about breast cancer. Now is the time to shift the discussion from awareness to pinpointing the cause and accelerating prevention--and you can help! Turn your fervent awareness of this disease that affects one in eight women, and take action by investing yourself in breast cancer research. Together we can fast track research and end breast cancer within our lifetime.
What is the Health of Women study?
With the introduction of the Health of Women study (HOW) TODAY October 1st, the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation will revolutionize the fight against breast cancer. By crowdsourcing health information, and involving the general public directly, we will uncover the information that will end breast cancer. This groundbreaking initiative invites the public, men and women over the age of 18 of all health backgrounds, to be collaborators by participating in the study via the web or on their mobile devices. HOW will also turn traditional research practices on its head by creating a venue for researchers to gather and share information, with the definitive goal of ending breast cancer.
