Breast cancer affects everyone.  Read more about women – and men – across the country who have been affected by the disease and who have used their experiences to be strong advocates; educating others about the impact of breast cancer. These advocates have worked tirelessly to inform legislators about the disease and shed light on the importance of key legislative and governmental policies and decisions.

All of us have a story to tell about how breast cancer has impacted our lives. Share your story about how breast cancer has affected you, a family member or friend, and ways you have reached out to local, state or national legislators about the disease. Submit your story here.
