My Letter of Support for Breast Cancer Action

When Breast Cancer Action asked if I would be interested in writing a letter of support for their organization, I said YES without hesitation.

How could I not support this organization? BCA’s focus on root causes and systemic issues benefits not only the cause of breast cancer but extends to patients’ rights, environmental protections, social disparities, safe and effective treatments, and truth in advertising. As my letter of support (below) indicates, BCA is an active part of the SOLUTION to a grave social problem. If you’re already a member of BCA you’ll get the letter with your name on it under separate cover. If you’re not already a member, please consider stepping into the action and offering your support.

My donation to BCA is in memory of my friend, Cathy Hoey. She was the inspiration for my research into pink ribbon culture and the person to whom Pink Ribbon Blues is dedicated. Donate today.
