HELP SPREAD THE WORD!
The Breast Cancer Fund depends on its community to be a driving force in helping to create awareness and change around eliminating the environmental causes of breast cancer. One great way to help spread the word is to send your friends and family a Breast Cancer Fund E-Postcard at http://www.breastcancerfund.org/site/apps/ka/ecard/cardForm.asp?c=kwKXLdPaE&b=44861.
Become an advocate: The Strong Voices Leadership Development Program is a nationwide network of women and men who share their personal stories while inspiring the public to take action to end the breast cancer epidemic. The Strong Voices Leadership Development Program was envisioned when the Breast Cancer Fund founder, Andrea Ravinett Martin, first spoke out on behalf of the environmental links to breast cancer. As a leader and strong voice in the breast cancer advocacy movement, Andrea created the path for the Breast Cancer Fund to take issue with the single most compelling public health issue of this century – environmental health.
To become a Strong Voice, please fill the Volunteer Form and indicate that you are interested in additional advocacy training. http://www.breastcancerfund.org/volunteer.
Visit the Strong Voices website to learn more about the program, access tools and resources and find opportunities for involvement in your region. http://www.breastcancerfund.org/strongvoices

March For Babies With Team Stroller Strides
Please join Team Stroller Strides on April 19th at Centennial Park in Nashville. Please help our goal of raising $500.
WHY?
When you walk, you give hope to the families of babies born too soon or sick. The money you raise supports programs in our community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. And it funds research to find answers to the serious problems that threaten our babies. This has been going on since 1970 and they have raised an incredible $1.8 billion to benefit all babies.
Please join our team TODAY and help us fundraise, if everyone gives a little....every bit of it helps! Come out this day and have some family fun, there will be lots of fun things for kids and Stroller Strides will be sponsoring a Stroller Decorating Contest!!

Luna Moms Club Weekly Tip

DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT OF BREAST CANCER
While more white women get breast cancer than African American women, more African American women will die of the disease. There are environmental exposures that are unique to African Americans like the more common use of hormone-containing personal care products. Please help us spread the word about the challenges for African American women. Request copies of and help distribute The Environmental Risks of Breast Cancer in African American Women at http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/4284207:5038358624:m:1:225139026:B5916FD491273A7087B5B8BEA0A5685D.
And while fewer Latinas get breast cancer than other groups, breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in Latina women in the United States. Experts say Latina breast cancer is understudied and that we simply do not have accurate data to know just how hard breast cancer is hitting these women. Help us shed more light on breast cancer within these communities of color. Read more about the Latina experience in BCF’s 2006 newsletter http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/4284208:5038358624:m:1:225139026:B5916FD491273A7087B5B8BEA0A5685D. If you would like to help distribute our print newsletter a few times a year, fill out a volunteer form and let us know! http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/4284209:5038358624:m:1:225139026:B5916FD491273A7087B5B8BEA0A5685D.
