PLEASE JOIN: Every Woman Counts
Today I am grateful for Sam's enjoyment of his baseball season, his teammates, his coaches, his improving skills and confidence. I am also grateful for all of the compassion in the world and I hope to contribute to that amount today.
With talk of cancer lately, it's time for me to make another pitch for women to join Dr. Susan Love's Army of Women and also the Health of Women Study. Action helps me feel like I am making a difference, like I am throwing my positive energy out into the universe. There are actions we can all take when it comes to getting to the causes and finding cures for breast cancer. Any answers we can find about breast or other cancers may help us address all cancers.
I wrote a post last October about these two intiatives, sponsored by the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation (DSLRF). You can read the entire post here.
Below is a portion of that post that provides links and tells you how to take action to help in the search for causes and cures for breast cancer.
"Here are a couple ways to take action. Join the new DSLRF initiative called the Health of Women Study at www.healthofwomenstudy.org. It is open to women worldwide over the age of 18, both those who have had breast cancer and those who have not. The goal is to build a huge database of information from women about women to help find potential answers to the causes of and risk factors for breast cancer.
You can also join the on-going DSLRF initiative known as the Army of Women at www.armyofwomen.org. This is also open to all women regardless of breast cancer history. This database helps researchers locate research participants in months instead of years, allowing the pace of research to pick up.
It just takes a few minutes to sign up for either and then you have taken positive action for a good reason. You can then decide what you want to participate in. It is all totally voluntary and your information is protected.Please consider joining one or both of these initiatives."
At the time of that post last October, there were over 8,000 women who had joined the HOW study. Now there are over 41,000. That's good progress, but it could be better. The goal of the Army of Women is to be one million strong. Last October, there were 369,000 who had joined. Now the number nears 373,000. Let's help pick up the pace.
Women, consider joining. Men, encourage the women in your life to step up. Together we can make a difference. Action empowers.
