About 1 in 8 women in the United States will develop breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. Furthermore, roughly 40,000 women in the United States are expected to die this year from breast cancer. Even though it’s more frequent in White women, African-American women are most likely to die from breast cancer.

There is a solution! AskDrO.com needs your help. A donation from you will go to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Advocacy Alliance in an effort and promise to end breast cancer indefinitely, and to assist in discovering, confirming and executing cures. Please…if you have known a loved one, friend, co-worker, anyone who has suffered or survived breast cancer, you know how breast cancer affects their lives and those around them.

You will be prompted to donate a certain desired amount and you will also be eligible to win an amazing prize, courtesy of Carol’s Daughter skincare company.
