Dear Friend,
This year, more than 215,000 women will be diagnosed with breast
cancer and more than 40,000 women will die. While there is no
simple way to prevent breast cancer, helping women access early
detection through low-cost screening is essential.
Now that Congress is back in session after a recess, we are
asking for immediate action to reauthorize the National Breast
and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), a
life-saving program critical to early detection of breast
cancer.

Congress has not yet acted to reauthorize this life-saving
program, and time is running out. That's why we need as many
people as possible to take action.
After you sign the petition, please forward it along to your
friends, family and colleagues. Remember, there are lives at
stake.
On behalf of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and our
hardworking volunteers, I thank you in advance for your support!
