Bridget was barely out of college when she received the life-altering news that she had breast cancer...at just 21 years old. The sad reality is that thousands of women well under the age of 40 are diagnosed each and every year with this insidious disease. But we can do better; we MUST do better. Friends for an Earlier Breast Cancer Test funds research seeking an earlier biological detection test for breast cancer. Earlier identification means less invasive treatments, shorter treatments, and fewer fatalities.
