One more is too many – Close the Gap!

The Wall Street Journal recently highlighted the heart-wrenching story of Shirley Loewe, who was uninsured when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Shirley went to the wrong clinic and was caught in a “legal loophole” that denied Medicaid coverage for her treatment. Sadly, Shirley lost her battle with breast cancer in June.

Every woman deserves access to quality breast cancer treatment that can save her life. Surviving breast cancer should not depend on where you live, the color of your skin, or how much money you make. Please help by urging your elected officials to ensure that not one more woman has to endure what Shirley did!

WE ARE MAKING THE DIFFERENCE IN FINDING A CURE FOR BREAST CANCER

Susan G. Komen for the Cure, is the world's largest, boldest and most progressive grassroots network of survivors and activists, the only organization fighting to cure breast cancer at every stage. To date, $1 billion has been raised for research, education and health services. And because so many millions of people are counting on us to fulfill our promise, Susan G. Komen for the Cure will invest an additional $2 billion over the next decade to do just that.

In addition to the National Research Grants, the Maine Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure provides grant funding to Maine communities. In order to ensure we are funding programs that address the specific unmet breast health needs of our communities, we work with local medical experts and community leaders to conduct comprehensive community needs assessments. These community profiles are then used to establish local grant application and review processes consistent with Komen's standards and mission. For the fiscal year 2007-2008, we are proud to report that we granted $261,731 taking contributions during our 10 year history over $1.1 million.

We will be announcing our 2008-2009 grant recipients in the next month or so and anticipate another record year for granting monies to community programs in Maine.
