I've just started reading the book "Climb Against the Odds: Celebrating Survival on the Mountain" that the Breast Cancer Fund sent me with my Orientation Packet and wanted to share some words from it.
"Climb Against the Odds is about ordinary people facing extraordinary challenges. It celebrates women of grace and power who have faced an internal mountain --breast cancer. "
I thought this quote from The Breast Cancer Fund's Director was great and really sums up BCF's mission and work --
"Every mountain climb we organize is dedicated to the women who find the courage to face the disease. Every publication we produce-- from our quarterly newsletter to 'State of the Evidence: What is the Connection Between Chemicals and Breast Cancer?' -- is committed to informing and mobilizing a public that is unrelenting in preventing the disease from striking more people. And every program we undertake--from strengthening environmental health policy to organizing International Summits on Breast Cancer and the Environment-- is essential to providing the legal and research framework necessary to create meaningful change."
- Jeanne Rizzo, Executive Director of The Breast Cancer Fund
