Walking in Truth

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Breast cancer affects individuals from all backgrounds, but the mortality rate
for women in the BIPOC community is 28.1% higher than that of the overall population.
This disparity highlights the urgent need for awareness,
early detection, and equitable access to healthcare.
Together, we can fight to save lives by spreading the message
that a diagnosis is not a death sentence—early detection saves lives!
This month, we honor and celebrate the strength of breast cancer survivors
while paying tribute to the courageous women and men who have battled this disease.
​Let’s stand together, raise awareness, and continue the fight against breast cancer!

We are a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization

Fighting together to Save lives,
​we have teamed up with other breast cancer organizations
in the community to promote awareness. 
Our main goal is to make a difference in the community, by encouraging
women and men to get annual mammograms.
We are all part of this collective effort; your involvement is key.
​Because early detection saves lives, we invite communities to participate in our mission. 

Breast Cancer Statistics 
Breast cancer is the leading cause of-related deaths among American.
study found that breast cancer deaths in the U.S decreasedby 1% per year from 2014 to 2018.
However, disparities remain: from 2011 to 2015, non-Hispanic Black women had a 41%
higher breast cancer death rate to non-Hispanic white women.
Non-Hispanic Black women have the highest breast cancer
death rate to other racial and ethnic groups.
Non-Hispanic Asian and Pacific Islander women
have the lowest breast cancer death rate. 



The largest decrease in breast cancer deaths was among women aged 45 to 64.
​Among aged 25 to 44, death rates declined by 1.5% per year, from 7.5 per 100,000 in 1999 to 5.4 in 2020. While breast cancer deaths are decreasing in U.S. overall, racial and ethnic disparities persist. Continued awareness, early detection, and equitable access to care are critical in closing this gap.
