American Cancer Society University graduate and Stephanie H. Lane grant recipient Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu has launched a breast cancer awareness website (www.brecan.org) for women and health care professionals in Nigeria. A breast cancer survivor, Akeredolu used her ACSU training and funding to staff and expand her breast cancer call center, and to raise breast cancer awareness among "market women" through pilot site promotions in Nigeria. The website will complement Akeredolu’s efforts to promote breast cancer awareness among women; promoting regular breast self-examination and encouraging symptomatic women to seek immediate attention from health professionals. The website also enlists members and generates financial support for the Breast Cancer Association of Nigeria.
Most of the money goes to corporate staff ..and then some goes to rcraeseh and really I am sick to death of seeing it everywhere .I was at an airport in Dallas and the pink ribbon is even on American Airlines planes go figure it just seems it is all about the money .and not so much about rcraeseh but I totally understand and agree about feeling bad .but it seems to me it has become about the marketing than the illness ..

Many thanks to ACS for the continued support in many ways. I'm encouraged to do even better.
