Cancer

Sympathy for the sick and old, for those who need help and can't help themselves is what differentiates people from animals. In the animal world they have the "jungle law" the law of the strongest and the natural selection. This way nature selects only the strongest animals to carry on the genes and usually the weak ones are eliminated. So sympathy and pity is only specific to human beings . The Declaration of the Human Rights says that we are all born equal, even some of us are stronger and some are sick. That is why people have always looked after the sick ones. That's why there are so many non-profit organizations and foundations all over the world.

They are founded by very generous people who are very concerned about other people's lives and want to help them by any means possible. Every foundation has a certain purpose, a very definite one from the moment of its founding. This way some foundations take care of AIDS affected people, some others of the orphans and some of breast cancer issues.



Breast Cancer Relief Foundation is, as you can imagine from the title, a non-profit foundation that covers many issues concerning breast cancer. This foundation is presently located in new orleans, USA, but they would like to extend worldwide, too. The main purpose of this foundation is to help those suffering from breast cancer in any way they can. That is why they raise funds, support education and prevention of breast cancer, offer medical assistance for those who need mammagrams or screening or any kinds of tests that are necessary for deting breast cancer, but they also provide the necessary funds for allowing the research that is being made in order to help find a cure for this terrible disease.



Breast Cancer Relief Foundation is actually a project of The Cancer Center for Detection and Prevention, being the branch that is involved in breast cancer. It is very important to support the research in the medical department because if the doctors and scientists working there and trying to find a cure, but also better and more effective drugs against breast cancer did not have the necessary funds to continue their work, none of the huge steps forward in this field would be made.

So research is a very important destination for the funds raised by the foundation. But they are not satisfied only to hope that one day things will get better. They want to get better results and an improved survival rate starting now. that is why this foundation also offers free medical services, especially for the ones who can't afford having them in the hospital because they are too poor or they lack medical insurance or for any other reason. These people would be condemned to death from the start if they do not find a helping hand.

Another important part of their mission is to spread the information about breast cancer. There are so many people who do not have even the minimum knowledge about this disease, the way it manifests , what are the symptoms and when you must go to the doctor. So the awareness and information campaigns are the best way of helping those people know what to look for and what to do if they have breast cancer and this information can help save their lives.
