The No Surrender Breast Cancer Foundation is dedicated to promoting self-advocacy, education, emotional support and empowerment for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Its purpose is to educate women about every aspect of their disease, helping them to navigate through the complicated maze of the medical world. By demystifying cancer, each woman can discover the courage and strength she carries within to fight and survive breast cancer. We encourage and offer hope by providing up to the minute research and the latest in medical modalities, combined with a peer driven support community of fellow survivors, new patients and their families learn to make informed decisions for their particular type of breast cancer.

Our focus is on surviving breast cancer using every means possible. We believe that until there is a cure, early detection is the best defense. With our Before Forty Initiative, we seek to change the standard of the age of 40 for a baseline mammogram, to the age of 35, and to 30 for women of high risk.

Through information, guidance, patient understanding and empowerment for anyone newly diagnosed or long term survivor, we have dedicated ourselves to make this disease one that can be conquered both physically and emotionally while we contribute to the scientific cure that will one day make breast cancer a thing of the past.
