In Africa, the number one cause of the high mortality rate from Breast cancer is late detection. Consequently the 5-year survival rate in Africa is only 10% compared to 70% in other parts of the developing world. We are planning to send a portable Breast screening clinic to many of the under-served communities in Africa with some of the world's best female oncologists and medical professionals. This is a time for women to empower each other to fight against this horrific disease that has devastated communities and torn families apart.
A program like this could save thousands of lives and raise a global awareness of breast cancer. If you would like to support this project, please sign this petition. I only need 10,000 signatures. If you would like to help in other ways then please contact me at

Heartbreaking that the survival rate is so low there. Something has to change.
