Join the Army of Women!

Join the Army of Women to help find a cure! The Army of Women (AOW) project was created by Dr. Susan Love. AOW's goal is to recruit at least 1 million women who want to stop breast cancer in our lifetime. They are looking for every age, ethnicity and for women with or without breast cancer history.

You can volunteer for the Army by signing up at armyofwomen.org. By becoming a volunteer you agree to be sent e-mail surveys about your lifestyle and breast health, others may be asked for voluntary blood, urine and saliva samples. Of course, you are never obligated, you get to choose the studies you'd like to participate in.

FAST FACT: Approximately 70-80% of women who develop breast cancer have no known risk factors.

Let's do our part to find a cure!!
