| How we're rising to the challenge |
 |
Dear John,
In the 20 years we've been helping people make sense of the complex information about breast health and breast cancer, we have never faced a challenge like the one we’re facing now.
For our community of breast cancer patients, the challenge of a breast cancer diagnosis is made more urgent by a crisis that is changing treatment plans, delaying therapies or surgeries, and putting their lives at even greater risk.
For me and my fellow medical professionals, we are challenged to do our best to treat all of our breast cancer patients with as much care and continuity as possible, all while very worried about the safety of our patients and ourselves.
For our team at Breastcancer.org, we are meeting the challenge of serving the increased needs of our community who are grappling with urgent, complex questions and seeking support from each other while stuck at home, often isolated. We are working as hard as ever to track the impact of COVID-19 and what it means for our breast cancer community.
Right now there is an opportunity to double the impact of your tax-deductible donations that help us rise to the challenge of this crisis. Two generous donors — true champions of Breastcancer.org — have stepped up to help us meet the needs of our community. We hope you will join us too.
Any donation you make to our COVID-19 RAPID RESPONSE FUND will be matched by these friends of Breastcancer.org, up to an incredible $100,000.
Help us respond to the challenges faced by patients right now.
Your donation to our COVID-19 RAPID RESPONSE FUND will help us secure these critical match funds and support our increased coverage, reporting, and research in direct response to the needs of breast cancer patients.
Together, we can rise to meet the challenges of this crisis with the compassion, care, and support that is core to Breastcancer.org's mission.
With gratitude,
Marisa C. Weiss, M.D.
Chief Medical Officer and Founder
