OUR MISSION

The No Surrender Breast Cancer Foundation is dedicated to promoting self-advocacy, education, emotional support and empowerment for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Its purpose is to encourage and offer hope. This is achieved by educating women about every aspect of their disease and helping them navigate through the maze of the medical world. By demystifying cancer, each woman can discover the courage and strength she carries within to fight and survive breast cancer. By providing up to the minute research and the latest in medical modalities, combined with a peer driven support community of fellow survivors, new patients and their families learn to make informed decisions for their particular type of breast cancer.

Our focus is on surviving breast cancer using every means possible. We believe that until there is a cure, early detection is the best defense. With our Before Forty Initiative we seek to change the standard of the age of 40 for a baseline mammogram, to the age of 35, and to 30 for women of high risk. Our aim is to raise awareness to all young women about the importance of early detection and diligent follow-up and the risk of a deadly form of breast cancer, known as Triple Negative Breast Cancer, which disproportionately affects young women of African American heritage. Our goal is to ensure that all young women get baseline screening through mammography, ultra sound or breast MRI before they reach the age of 40, and that insurance carriers cover these screenings and subsequent follow-up tests.
