The idea
More information on Breast Cancer (more education) for women and also men. Mammograms vans to provide information for women and men of color because breast cancer is increasing. I am a two time breast cancer survivor myself.
Who it helps and why
I am very gung ho about getting information out, early detection, and self exam whatever! But anyways that's my idea let's get these women and men in facilities to get a mammogram and get them any information. Provided more information to women and men of color because breast cancer is increasing.
