We can, We must and We will eradicate Breast Cancer in our lifetime.

Being a woman of a certain age, I remember when President John F. Kennedy stated that “we would land a man on the moon by the end of the decade.” Initially there were a lot of people in different organizations and parts of the country that said that could not be done. But an interesting phenomenon happened - soon everyone around the country began to work towards that goal. Because someone was bold enough to state that as a goal, no one wanted to fail.

That is how I feel about the tag line for “Breast In Show” - We can, We must and We will eradicate Breast Cancer in our lifetime. There have been numerous private, public groups, international organizations and government agencies pursuing a wide range of research and treatment options - sometimes in conjunction with one another and sometimes alone. I believe that the time has come to put a stake in the ground and to rally all the resources to proudly rid the world of a disease that affects so many people in the next 30 years.

We are so close - let us make this our goal and legacy to our daughters and grandchildren!
