A Message from the President

   Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women of every ethnic group in the United States. The incidence of breast cancer is described by some medical experts as "epidemic." It is estimated that one in every eight women in the United States will get breast cancer in her lifetime.   Breast cancer is the leading cause of death among women in America 35 to 45 years of age.
    The Breast Cancer Research and Assistance Fund believes that the causes of breast cancer are well established and documented. The basic causes of cancer are linked directly to our environment and our living habits. By working to change these two elements through improved nutritional habits, the elimination of all known carcinogens from our environment, our food, water and air; we can make tremendous strides in the fight against, and in the prevention of breast cancer.
    As an organization that is dependent upon public support and volunteer help, we continue to look for more cost-effective ways to provide vital educational materials about nutrition and therapies for breast cancer. We network with new agencies to help develop the necessary resources and programs for hospitals and clinics in an effort to provide the highest level of care for victims of cancer. Together, we can make a difference in their lives.

Joy MacKay, President
