Join the Army of Women Helping Breast Cancer Research

September 21, 2009 · No Comments

A cancer research clearing house is looking for a few good women… to join their "Army."

Founded by Dr. Susan Love and the Avon Foundation for Women, the Army of Women seeks one million women in the United States to serve as a pool of research volunteers. Women who register will receive e-mail updates from the Love/Avon Army of Women announcing new research studies looking for volunteers. Women of all ages, ethnicities and risks—whether you have had breast cancer or not—are invited to join. Each e-mail will detail a research project. If you fit the criteria and you’d like to participate, all you need to do is click "Yes Sign Me Up" and you will be directed to the next step.
