why me?

that's the question that many women ask when faced with a breast cancer diagnosis.

why me? how will i deal with this? how will my cancer impact my family? will i survive? what treatments are available to me?

for the women asking these questions, y-me is there to listen to their concerns, help ease their fears, and lend a helping hand in any way they need.

the y-me national breast cancer organization's mission is to ensure, through information, empowerment and peer support, that no one faces breast cancer alone. they provide programs and services that are available free of charge to anyone who needs them. Y-ME has the only 24-hour hotline staffed entirely by trained breast cancer survivors who are trained to provide information and support to anyone touched by breast cancer, with interpreters in 150 languages.

on mother's day this sunday, i will be participating in the 2007 y-me race to empower, benefiting this wonderful organization. i'd love to have you support me - or join me, if you'd like!

p.s. - here's another way to support breast cancer detection!
