As the holidays approach we count our blessings and consider the opportunity to give back to others and share our good fortune. We are proud to be involved with Expedition Inspiration as members of the Board of Directors. Our mission is to raise awareness andsupport breast cancer research, which will help accelerate thedevelopment of innovative new treatments. We have hiked numerous trails, climbed mountains and even auctioned beautifully decorated bras to raise money to support research grants. Expedition Inspiration grants have led to many successes, such as developing a community-based high dose chemotherapy program that can be administered in small cancer centers. This means that many patients can be treated successfully in their home environments. These advances in research happen because you care. This holiday season we are asking you to join us in giving a gift of life and hope by making a donation to The Expedition Inspiration Fund for Breast Cancer Research. Every contribution, no matter what the size, represents your ongoing commitment to a brighter future for those among us who are fighting breast cancer. Our pledge as Board Members is to continue to fund promising medical research. We hope you will join us in our battle against this disease. |
