Get Fit for Hope Challenge!

While getting through this COVID-19 pandemic is essential, the work of Breast Cancer Alliance has not wavered. Our mission includes eliminating obstacles to essential breast health care for underserved and uninsured women. Now more than ever your support is critical, as breast cancer diagnoses continue and the number of those in need rapidly rises due to COVID-19.

• Screening mammographies were placed on hold
• Neoadjuvant (pre-surgical therapies) were being offered in place of surgery until hospitals are better, more safely prepared to handle non-COVID patients.
• Immunocompromised patients going through chemotheraphy have an added layer of fear when they go for their sessions. 
• 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime and 1 in 833 men.

They need our help.

Exercise has a demonstrated positive impact on both prevention and recovery from breast cancer. BCA's Get Fit for Hope Challenge, a nationwide event dedicated to fitness, exceeded it's goal of $75,000 and raised nearly $110,000! All who participated took the opportunity to do something good for themselves, in the safety of their own home while making an important impact on the healthcare of others. We are so grateful!
