Metastatic Breast Cancer Support Group
Young women with metastatic breast cancer face particularly intense challenges—they’re also particularly underserved by a medical community too often blind to the unique issues young women face. Thankfully, for those living with metastatic breast cancer, YSC Atlanta’s new programs can help provide the support and information young women both need and deserve. Join us on the fourth Tuesday of each month for the Metastatic Breast Cancer Support Group.
YSC Tour de Pink Atlanta 2011
What a way to kick off breast cancer awareness month! On October 1st, over 800 riders, runners, walkers and volunteers gathered for Atlanta's only bike ride for breast cancer! The 3rd annual event saw even more participants than last year's ride, plus a new survivor area, massage therapists and a great Taste of the Tour! The funds raised at Tour de Pink stay right here in the Atlanta area to provide support, education and outreach so that no young woman faces breast cancer alone. Thank you to our participants, sponsors, and volunteers, we could not have done it without you. See you in 2012! Want to see more, check out ysctourdepink.org/atlanta.
Mark your calendars for next year's event: September 29, 2012.
