When we support research, we promote amazing things: new breakthroughs, faster advances and better outcomes for people with breast cancer.
Here, supporters share the inspiration behind their dedication to cancer research:
(MY FUNDRAISER PAGE IS NOW LIVE! Please donate what you can) I’M PROUD TO ANNOUNCE my partnership with @bcrfcure My Grandmother (whom I never met) passed away in 1968. Helen Isabel Vandervoort.
She was diagnosed shortly after my Dad’s 2nd birthday. She had a radical mastectomy followed by radiation treatments. Chemo wasn't available at that time. For 13 yrs, I’m told my Grandmother fought like a tiger to stay with her family... undergoing many surgeries & treatments. She died Jan 10 1968 at the age of 43. My Grandmother had gone to her Dr. early after discovering a lump in her breast but because she was so young and healthy she was told to wait a few months as it might go away! They didn't have the screening process we do today. #WhyResearch #BeTheEnd #ResearchSavesLives
#FundResearchSaveLives // This amongst other stories I will share is a huge reason why I’m proud to partner with @bcrfcure
I never want anyone else to walk in my grandmother’s footsteps. That’s #WhyResearch matters to me. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month I’m urging all of you to share your #WhyResearch story. For every post about the importance of breast cancer research shared on Instagram from now through October 31 with the hashtag, $10 will be donated to BCRF, up to $4,000. Share your story today!
#WhyResearch - For days like this! My grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer just over 15 years ago. Because of advancements in treatments, when I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer 5 years ago she was there and to take me to every surgery and treatment I had. Research has made days like this possible for both of us! #bcrf #researchmatters

I would have posted this yesterday on #mbcawarenessday but I didn’t want it to get lost in the thousands of other posts. Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day is about woman like Brandi, the woman we should never overlook on days & months like October. I never had the opportunity to meet her but she touched my life as if we met. She fought, loved and explored life. I taken my travel and appreciation of life even more seriously after learning about Brandi’s story. Pink October is suppose to help bring the end to breast cancer and us dying from this things called Metastatic Breast Cancer! Thats #whyresearch needs to happen from all this awareness. Most importantly we will never forget you.

My dear friend @amesamesameslaw set up a fundraiser in honor of my fight.
https://give.bcrf.org/fundraise/team?ftid=139359 .
.
#boxingforboobs will be held in Los Angeles on a donation basis. You do not need to attend to donate. .
#whyresearch because 1 in 8 women will get #breastcancer in their lifetime. A non-profit like #bcrf gives 90% of its profit to research. Also it's a tax write off .

#WhyResearch #forSisters
Sisters are among the most precious gifts our parents can give us. Sisters are our mirrors – reflecting back the best parts of us.
•
They make us laugh, make us mad and cry with us when we are sad. They tell us the truth, whether we like it or not.
•
It’s been said that having a sister is like having a best friend you can’t get rid of. But why would we want to? #WhyResearch? So the bonds of sisterhood will never be broken. @bcrfcure #breastcancerawareness #thinkpink
As a part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I’m sharing stories close to me. @BCRFcure
My Aunt Karen ( @fiftysense3 )(also my mothers twin) was diagnosed on Oct 13 2009 during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. She had DCIS-Ductal Carcinoma. Her results indicated long term radiation would have a high success rate thanks to early diagnosis.
She went through radiation treatment: Six weeks of daily Mon to Fri radiation.
We are proud to say my aunt Karen as of October 2017 is cancer free!!! She now has yearly followups and mammograms.
Also, like the amazing woman she is.... Aunt Karen Is participating in her 8th year of a 10 year Clinical Study called "RAPID" for long term radiation treatments that may provide future paths for women in the same situation. WISHES from Aunt Karen for all women:
“Self examinations and mammograms are vital. You are never too young or too old to be vigilant.”
