The Susan C. Komen Advocacy Alliance is asking people to contact their senators to support the Breast Cancer Education and Awareness Requires Learning Young (EARLY) Act, which addresses the risks of breast cancer in young women, by:

- Initiating an evidence-based public education campaign about breast cancer in women under age 45 – with an emphasis on women at higher risk due to their race, ethnicity or genetic heritage.

- Educating health care professionals about the risk factors, opportunities for genetic counseling and testing, and unique challenges that face young women diagnosed with breast cancer.

- Providing grants to organizations that provide credible health information directed to young women diagnosed with breast cancer.

Here is a way to send a letter to your senators.
