WAWELA Cancer Support is on a mission to reverse the financial strain many cancer patients experience during and after treatment while joining the race to end cancer once and for all.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women in the United States (2005-2009). Breast cancer deaths are going down the fastest among white women compared to women of other races and ethnicities. Black women have the highest death rates of all racial and ethnic groups and are 40% more likely to die of breast cancer than white women. *The reasons for this difference result from many factors including having more aggressive cancers and fewer social and economic resources. To improve this disparity, black women need more timely follow-up and improved access to high-quality treatment. (Information provided by National Cancer Institute.)
It is our belief that the risk of contracting chronic illness such as cancer can be reduced through proper education and reliable resources. There are millions of people around the world who do not know all of the specifics when facing a chronic illness and are not financially prepared when such crisis hits.
WAWELA is joining forces with resources and businesses that will assist in providing the fundamentals tools that better prepare individuals for such crisis.
