FUNDRAISING SUCCESS
Angels of Dance delivered an $8,500 donation to Komen Dallas County. What a great way to start off the new year! The group of almost 70 professional and amateur dancers have come together since 2012 to Cha Cha, Salsa and Viennese Waltz the night away in an effort to end breast cancer forever. Putting together a spectacular event like Dancing for the Cure takes hard work, a lot of practice and comes with countless blisters, and we are grateful for their dedication to our mission. Thank you Angels of Dance – you are More Than Pink™.

RESEARCH CORNER
Clinical trials can provide an opportunity to try new treatments and possibly benefit from them. They also allow people to contribute to the science of breast cancer treatment that will benefit others for years to come. If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, a clinical trial may be a great option. But like all aspects of cancer care, the decision to join a clinical trial is a very personal one. To learn more about clinical trials see the link below. Komen is also proud to present the Metastatic Trial Search (powered by BreastCancerTrials.org). This is the first-ever search engine designed specifically for people with metastatic breast cancer. |
