Tonight I attended a training for the Komen Foundation Speaker's Bureau. The Komen Foundation Central & South Jersey Affiliate runs the NJ Race for the Cure and has granted to hospitals and nonprofits to fund education, screening and treatment for the medically underserved.
The Speaker's Bureau volunteers lead discussions on breast health and the Komen Foundation. I am excited to begin giving back by spending time helping the foundation & becoming an advocate for women in NJ.
If you are interested in doing more, become an advocate- you can start small by emailing your Congress-person about pending legislation to fund screening and research for breast cancer. The website makes it super easy!
If you are interested in having somebody from the Komen Foundation (me?) come and speak to your group in Central or South Jersey, please let me know!
Komen Mission - To eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by advancing research, education, screening and treatment.
Central & South
Jersey Affiliate Vision - To affect a meaningful reduction in the percentage of late stage diagnoses of breast cancer through aggressive education and screening
