We’re saddened by the passing of Rep. Gerry Connolly (VA-11), a true leader and champion for the breast cancer community. He co-sponsored the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act from the start and supported DOD BCRP funding. Our hearts are with his family and friends.

Our incredible advocates are on Capitol Hill today for the National Breast Cancer Coalition’s Lobby Day! They’re meeting with lawmakers to push for policies that improve lives, from funding the DOD Breast Cancer Research Program to ensuring affordable, high-quality care for all. #NBCC #VBCF
