We walk in memory and honor of our partners, friends and family who have fought this disease. We walk in pride and solidarity. We walk because every person deserves a lifetime.

The early detection rate in the US is 95%. The early detection in the gay community is estimated to be about 60%. That equates into more women in our community losing their lives to a very treatable disease.

In order to bring attention to this issue, we walk as out women and their supporters in Atanta's 3 day breast cancer walk.

As part of our effort to educate the lesbian community about the importance of breast checks and doctor exams, we're visiting the Pride celebrations around the Southeast and distributing information about prevention and detection.

And we're proud to announce that Christ Covenant MCC is officially sponsoring our team in the effort to give back to the community.

Thanks also to Doc Greens and Lulu -a Day Spa for their sponsorship this year!
