Founding member of the Walk to Bust Cancer Team, Mary Edwards began her own cancer journey in 2015.  She created these wings to symbolize those battling, those helping, and those watching from a higher place. Mary had a warrior's spirit and an unwavering joy of life.  Her smile never dimmed throughout her battle; we hope her spirit comes through these wings to you.

Two Fast Facts

1. The Greater D.C. region has some of the highest rates of late-stage breast cancer and mortality in the nation, with Black women facing the greatest burden.

 

​

2. It’s proven: early detection saves lives - and a simple mammogram can make all the difference.

 

But with so many in our community recently unemployed, uninsured, or simply afraid, we know the risk is rising. Without action, our region’s already high rates could get even worse.

​

That’s why we’re stepping up - to make life-saving breast cancer screenings and diagnostic tests completely free for those who need it most.

​

No one should miss a mammogram because of fear or finances.
 

No missed mammograms. That’s our goal.​

Thank you for your support,

Let's Get Social!
