Cause details:

"[The Nurses' Health Study] is one of the most significant studies ever conducted on the health of women."-Donna Shalala, Former Secretary of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

The Nurses' Health Study (of Brigham and Women's Hospital, a flagship hospital of Harvard Medical School) is regarded as world's LARGEST and LONGEST-running study into understanding cancer causes and preventions in women. The NHS has led the world in finding causes, preventions, and treatments for breast cancer for >30 years.

However, due to limited federal funds, research dollars from public donations are becoming ever more critical to continue the vital research into women's cancers.

Please consider supporting the cause--all donations DIRECTLY benefit breast cancer research! (Even a small $5-10 tax-deductible donation can significantly help efforts to find a cure) Thank you.
