My Story…
I started volunteering with the MBCC back in high school and never have I felt so welcomed and learned so much in the span of volunteering. This organization is so important to me because it focuses its energy on not just finding a cure for breast cancer, but on prevention of breast cancer.
They work on identifying environmental causes and passing legislation to protect us from these risk factors. This work inspired my thesis research on the prevalence of environmental risk factors in minority communities and class basis.
I cannot emphasize enough how much this organization has had an impact on my life and inspired my own career path. This organization works not just for those who already have cancer, but for everyone in preventing further exposures to hazardous chemicals.
