This is a post I have been meaning to make for a month and just didn't get to.

The Breast Cancer Fund (http://www.breastcancerfund.org/) is a group I hadn't heard about until S and I did a benefit hike to support them. Instead of searching for a cure, also important, they are taking a stance against the fact that 1 in 8 women (http://www.cancer.org/Cancer/BreastCancer/OverviewGuide/breast-cancer-overview-key-statistics) will get breast cancer in the first place. Other sources put a lot of weight on genetics. The Breast Cancer Fund recognizes this risk yet puts more emphasis on our daily chemical and radiation exposure as a cause. They make the research more accessible and provide practical ways to act on the information. (I realize that some of this research is still inconclusive and many people disagree. I happen to agree with most of it and have for some time. I am happy to have discussion, but please play nice.) They also advocate for the elimination of these contaminates from our environment.
