We need something more than hope, so the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC) set a deadline of January 1, 2020 to know how to end breast cancer. Hope is a wish. The deadline is a commitment.
The National Breast Cancer Coalition is hundreds of groups, including Beyond Pink TEAM, under one umbrella dedicated to ending breast cancer. We cannot end breast cancer alone. It’s time to get serious about ending breast cancer. Yes. Ending breast cancer. Join the voices of all those in Iowa who are saying, “We stand behind Breast Cancer Deadline 2020.”
Add your group to the list of organizations and policy makers calling for an end to breast cancer. These Iowa organizations have committed to:
· Becoming educated about the issues and solutions to end breast cancer by January 1, 2020
· Communicating to others about Breast Cancer Deadline 2020, and asking them to join the campaign.
