Do
you have a friend or family member affected by breast cancer? My name is
Matt Allen. I am 26 years old and live in Long Beach, California. My mother,
Patti Allen, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1990. I remember feeling
that I wanted to show my love and support, but I wasn’t sure how. Now 11
years later, my mom is a breast cancer survivor and, in her honor, I have
created a way for you and me to celebrate the lives of breast cancer survivors
and to raise money to help others in their fight against
this terrible disease. |

The National Breast Cancer Coaltion's mission is to eradicate
breast cancer through action and advocacy.
This grassroots group helped bring about an unprecedented $1billion breast
cancer research project within the Department of Defense. NBCC is the
voice of over 500 member organizations and 60,000 individual members dedicated
to finding the cause and cure for breast cancer.

Breast Friends is a local NBCC member organization in
Long Beach, California. It is a support program for
newly diagnosed breast cancer patients.
Mentors help women by delivering
knowledge, support, encouragement
and friendship.
