With a number of breast cancer fundraising events are taking place across the country this month, here’s a look at six of the top resources for the disease on Facebook.
Cancer and Careers: This group offers a host of free online resources, such as job coaches, interview kits with sample resumes and other valuable tips to help those working with cancer or wanting to find a new job after treatment ends.
National Breast Cancer Coalition: The advocacy group works with policymakers, the research community and other stakeholders with a goal of ending breast cancer by 2020.
Cancer Legal Resource Center: The group is dedicated to providing free and confidential information on cancer-related legal issues to people with cancer, their families, friends, healthcare professionals and employers.
Young Survival Coalition: The Facebook page is dedicated to the critical issues unique to young women affected by breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, 10 percent of the 255,000 women diagnosed last year were under 45.
BreastCancer.org: The Facebook page features links back to the group’s website, a rich source of expert opinion, information and popular discussion forums where family members and patients can connect on hundreds of different topics.
American Cancer Society/Making Strides: It’s difficult to talk about cancer without citing the American Cancer Society’s “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” campaign. This page features information on fundraising tools as well as links to informative articles.
