Breast cancer has touched us all…whether it’s a family member, friend, co-worker or even ourselves.

Here are some facts about breast cancer, which is the second leading cause of death among women but also affects men as well, along with its symptoms and how to detect the disease.

You’ll find local support groups and other breast cancer resources here and don’t forget to join Dave Saturday morning at the Cancer Resource Center of the Finger Lakes Walkathon and 5K at Cass Park in Ithaca.

Help us raise awareness, share stories and get closer to world without breast cancer!
