SHARE Partnering with Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation
SHARE is helping to recruit volunteers to join the Love/Avon Army of Women (www.armyofwomen.org) and help move breast cancer beyond a cure.
Love/Avon Army of Women is a groundbreaking program of the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, funded by a grant from the Avon Foundation for Women. The mission of the Army of Women is to recruit one million women of all ages (over 18) and ethnicities, with or without breast cancer, to sign up and participate in breast cancer research studies.
Current studies focus on using breast milk to screen for breast cancer, and finding a better way to predict a woman's breast cancer risk, among other studies. Participation can involve anything from providing a blood sample to something as simple as filling out an online questionnaire. For the full list of current projects, visit: www.armyofwomen.org/current.
SHARE will let our email subscribers know about upcoming studies through our email newsletter. Women can also sign up at www.armyofwomen.org and will then be contacted directly by the Army of Women via email blast, 2-3 times a month, to participate in groundbreaking, breast cancer prevention research studies. They can either sign-up for the studies online, or if they do not qualify, they are encouraged to forward the information to a friend or family member.
Every woman over 18 is welcome to participate, whether a breast cancer survivor or someone never affected. Participation in any study is always completely voluntary.
Visit www.armyofwomen.org to sign up today.
The mission of the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation is to eradicate breast cancer and improve the quality of women's health through innovative research, education and advocacy. For more information, visit www.dslrf.org.
