Breast Health ResourcesArmy
of Women - this revolutionary initiative has two key
goals:
- To recruit one million women of every age and ethnicity,
including breast cancer
survivors and women at high risk for the disease, to partner with
breast cancer researchers and directly participate in the research that
will eradicate breast cancer once and for all.
- To challenge the
scientific community to expand its current focus to include breast
cancer prevention research conducted on healthy women.

The initiative is a collaboration of the
Avon Foundation and the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation.
