I am really close to the women in my life. My mom, twin sister, grandmas, aunts, cousins, friends, and co-workers. I never want to see one of these strong women go through the battle of breast cancer. The fact is this: one in eight women in America will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. The chance of one of the closest women in my life being diagnosed with breast cancer is very real. It is time to do something about this statistic.
