Breast cancer is a disease that touches the lives of many. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the course of their lifetime.
Research shows that exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals and carcinogens can lead to a breast cancer diagnosis later in life.
Up through a woman’s first full-term pregnancy is a time when women are particularly vulnerable to these harmful chemicals. It is up to us to stop breast cancer before it starts.
Dads are the best! To become a great dad, it’s super important to reduce exposure to phthalates (specifically, DEHP found in plastics) which can lead to lower sperm quality and count, which leads to reduced fertility.

Today, we are grateful to those on the frontlines as we all take steps TOGETHER to prevent Coronavirus.
Like many nonprofits, our fundraising events were cancelled, but our efforts to prevent breast cancer were not. Our frontline workers are not taking the risks of those in hospitals, but they are dedicated to the same result - saving lives.
A little team of women dedicated to protecting their peers from a future with breast cancer seems a small and comparably invisible effort for support. And yet...
Tomorrow, we will be grateful for the frontline they inspire as TOGETHER we work to prevent Breast Cancer.
How can simple tips translated from the science be worthy of a donation? Women up through their first full term pregnancy are in a window of susceptibility and the choices they make today affects their diagnosis tomorrow. Every decision to avoid a product with concerning chemicals is a step towards a future without this disease.
On this national day of giving, please share your support at protectourbreasts/donate. TOGETHER we make a difference in our future.
