Money raised for the Breast Cancer crusade is to help provide access to breast cancer care for those who need it most, fund educational programs, and accelerate research into new treatments and potential cures.
Every 9 seconds a woman in the US is assaulted or beaten. Around the world, at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise. Nearly 1 in 5 teenage girls who have been in a relationship said a boyfriend threatened violence or self-harm if presented with a break-up. Studies estimate up to 10 million children witness violence and abuse in their homes each year. You can help make a difference.
If you are unable to make this event, please consider a small donation to help improve and save lives.
Thank you.
