About the Fight: Fight­ing Every Day for Every Life

Because 10 mil­lion women around the world could die from breast can­cer in the next 25 years with­out the cure, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is fight­ing every minute of every day to save every life. Because every woman is at risk for breast can­cer – a dis­ease that strikes at ran­dom and for which the causes and cures are still unknown – we know that every moment counts:

• With­out a cure, 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will con­tinue to be diag­nosed with breast can­cer – a dev­as­tat­ing dis­ease with phys­i­cal, emo­tional, psy­cho­log­i­cal and finan­cial pain that can last a lifetime.

• With­out a cure, an esti­mated 5 mil­lion Amer­i­cans will be diag­nosed with breast can­cer – and more than 1 mil­lion could die – over the next 25 years.

• With­out a cure, an esti­mated 25 mil­lion women around the world will be diag­nosed with breast can­cer – and 10 mil­lion could die – over the next 25 years.
