Breast cancer is a disease that knows no boundaries. It strikes women from all backgrounds, races, and ethnicities, the rich and the poor, the old and the young. I am honored to say I am in communication with Senator Amy Klobuchar about the Early Act and the precautionary measures we can take to teach young women and healthcare workers about this bill.
- The EARLY Act encourages young women to be their own voice, speak up for themselves, and know when they need to go to the doctor.
- It arms them with the confidence to stand up to anyone who tells them "you are too young for breast cancer."
- The EARLY Act also lets young women know that genetic counseling is available to them, and encourages them to inquire about these tests with their doctors.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) is a nationwide community based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service.
As the granddaughter of a great man who died of lung cancer, (the leading cause of cancer deaths), and as a great friend of someone who died of breast cancer and another whom survived breast cancer, (the second leading cause of cancer deaths), I am committed to providing, education, advocacy, raising funds, and awareness for men and women in hopes that we will find a cure!
