I didn't know anything about breast cancer when I got it.

I think a lot of people just aren't aware how young you can be and be diagnosed with breast cancer.

With breast cancer, it's all about detection. You have to educate young women and encourage them to do everything they have to do.

Whether you're a mother or father, or a husband or a son, or a niece or a nephew or uncle, breast cancer doesn't discriminate.

Every woman needs to know the facts. And the fact is, when it comes to breast cancer, every woman is at risk.

Women who have been recently diagnosed with breast cancer can learn a tremendous amount from women who have already been treated.

I grew up knowing the importance of breast cancer.

I have experienced firsthand the tremendous impact breast cancer has on the women who fight it and the loved ones who support them. This is a disease that catches you unaware and, without the right resources, leaves you feeling frightened and alone.

People used to say everyone knows someone who's had breast cancer. In the past few weeks, I've learned something else: Everyone has someone close to them who has had breast cancer.

With over 3 million women battling breast cancer today, everywhere you turn there is a mother, daughter, sister, or friend who has been affected by breast cancer.
