Walking in Truth

October is Breast Cancer Awareness MonthBreast cancer affects people of all backgrounds, but the mortality rate for women in the BIPOC community is 28.1% higher than the overall population. This disparity underscores the urgent need for awareness, early detection, and equitable healthcare access.
Together, we can fight to save lives by spreading awareness that a diagnosis is not a death sentence—early detection saves lives!
This month, we honor and celebrate the strength of breast cancer survivors and pay 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, began participating 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 and encourage communities, to take part in our community, because early detection saves lives. 

Breast Cancer Statistics 
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among American women.  A study found that breast cancer deaths in the U.S. decreased by 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 compared to non-Hispanic white women. Racial & Ethnic Disparities  Non-Hispanic Black women have the highest breast cancer death rate compared to other racial and ethnic groups.
Non-Hispanic Asian and Pacific Islander women have the lowest breast cancer death rate. Age Groups & Trends The largest decrease in breast cancer deaths was among women aged 45 to 64.
 Among women ages 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 the U.S. overall, racial and ethnic disparities persist. Continued awareness, early detection, and equitable access to care are critical in closing this gap.
