Glamour Helps to Recruit an Army of Women for Breast Cancer Research

It's almost October, the Breast Cancer Awareness month, a disease that is so close to my heart as I had lost a loved one because of it. That is why causes like this really strike a chord in me. Please help spread the word about this amazing endeavor, or be part of the army yourself.

Glamour Magazine joins forces with the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation’s Love/Avon Army of Women to host a PSA video contest to help recruit one million women volunteers for breast cancer research.

Film students were asked to create Public Service Announcements for the “Army of Women” cause. The Army of Women’s goal is to eliminate breast cancer by identifying what causes this disease and stopping it before it starts. This unique initiative teams scientists with women who may be interested in participating in breast cancer research projects– healthy women as well as breast cancer survivors. So far, more than 305,000 women have signed up since the Army launched last October.

We encourage you, dear readers, to view and vote for your favorite Public Service Announcement by CLICKING HERE. Voting has started yesterday (Friday, September 25) and the winner announced on October 5th. Your vote will help the organization pick the video that will motivate millions of women to take the next step and sign up to join the Army of Women.

Get more information, and take the next step yourself by signing up at armyofwomen.org.

Remember: Finding the cause of breast cancer and preventing it starts with one--YOU.
