We
are mothers, fathers, sons, daughters and friends. We care about
you, your family and your friends. Some of us are first time walkers
and some of us are repeat walkers that have been truly moved by the
3-Day. We have loved ones with cancer and we have lost loved ones to
cancer. We want to make difference so we walk to help find a cure.

Breast Cancer Facts:
|
|

The precise cause of breast cancer is unknown. Breast cancer can
happen to anyone. Most cases of breast cancer occur in women who are
not classified as high risk, a reminder that more research must be
done in order to uncover possible causes.
|
|
|
The chance of a woman developing invasive breast cancer in her
lifetime is about 1 in 8.
|
|
|
The chance that a woman will lose her life to breast cancer is about
1 in 35.
|
|
|
Every 13 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer.
|
|
|
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women between
the ages of 15 and 54, and the second cause of cancer death in women
55 to 74.
|
|
|
Hormone Replacement Therapy has been shown to increase the risk of
breast cancer.
|
|
|
Significant alcohol use (more than 1-2 drinks a day) has been
associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.
|

Women who begin menstruating before age 12 are at increased risk of
