Do You Know How To Help Fight Breast Cancer In Wyoming?
It's estimated that Wyoming will see about 460 new cases of breast cancer in 2023. There will be an estimated 70 women die from breast cancer in 2023.
Since the inception of the WY Breast Cancer Initiative in 2016, they have been fighting to assist, educate and prevent breast cancer in Wyoming. During that time, over 5,000 people have been helped with funds raised by WBCI. With hundreds of new breast cancer diagnosis every year and Wyoming ranking last for breast screenings, the WBCI's mission isn't complete.
Breast cancer is by far the most common cancer amongst women across Wyoming, and if you'd like to have a hand in helping lower those numbers, the perfect option is just a click away.
Sign up for one, or all, of the upcoming Wyoming Breast Cancer Initiative Pink Ribbon Runs that happen in multiple cities across Wyoming. The first run will be August 5th in Casper, followed by the Cheyenne run August 12th and Riverton's run is the last of the three on August 19th.
These runs are important to help raise funds that support breast cancer awareness, clinical breast exams, mammograms, treatment assistance, patient support (before, during and after) breast cancer treatment, and breast health education.
