The Army of Women is seeking Recruits for Breast Cancer Research

The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation and the Avon Foundation for Women have joined forces to launch the Love/Avon Army of Women. This revolutionary initiative has two key goals: 1) To recruit one million healthy women of every age and ethnicity, including breast cancer survivors and women at high-risk for the disease, to partner with breast cancer researchers and directly participate in the research that will eradicate breast cancer, 2) To challenge the scientific community to expand its current focus to include breast cancer prevention research conducted on healthy women. All women are invited to join this movement that will take us beyond a cure by creating new opportunities to study what causes breast cancer—and how to prevent it. You can join at http://www.armyofwomen.org As of 10/13/09, there were 315,284 participants.

From October 13 to November 23, you can enter a contest to sign up the greatest number of new recruits. The winner will get unique PINK Vespa. For more information on the contest, go to
