Every day, breast cancer disrupts the lives of countless Americans, bringing with it unimaginable fear, uncertainty, and heartbreak. During this National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we take a moment to honor the resilience and courage of those bravely battling this disease. We also reaffirm our steadfast commitment to eradicating this horrific illness once and for all.
Statistics reveal that one in every eight women in the United States will confront the reality of breast cancer during their lifetime. This alarming statistic underscores the urgency of our mission. My Administration is determined to end this tragedy and alleviate the suffering caused by this disease. As part of our historic Make America Healthy Again Commission, we are actively working to lower cancer rates, ensuring that fewer lives, families, and futures are devastated by the enduring physical and emotional torment associated with cancer.
We urge all Americans to prioritize their health by understanding their family history and identifying other risk factors associated with breast cancer. Early detection is vital in the fight against this disease. Utilizing early detection methods and implementing preventative protocols, along with lifestyle changes that may reduce cancer risk, are essential steps everyone can take. Awareness and education are critical components in the battle against breast cancer.
Our commitment extends beyond awareness; we pledge to continue prioritizing research and medical advancements that accelerate the development of cures for breast cancer. We recognize that ongoing research plays a crucial role in understanding and ultimately defeating this disease.
This month, we celebrate the resilience of our Nation’s four million breast cancer survivors. We stand in solidarity with those currently fighting for remission and healing, and we mourn alongside all who have lost a precious loved one to this disease. Together, united in purpose, we commit ourselves to working towards a healthy, prosperous, and cancer-free future for America.
