The Many Ongoing Projects of Breast Health and Healing

By Vera Viner

This National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Breast Health and Healing Foundation has a full plate. We are in the midst of countless of ongoing projects and I thought you’d all enjoy hearing about them.

Our Petition

As previously mentioned in this blog, we have created a petition on Change.org aimed at asking the federal government to increase funding toward research on the mouse mammary tumor virus. Please read our petition and sign it here.

The 85 Broads Webinar

The other important project we’ve been working on with the 85 Broads organization is to spread awareness of the preventive breast cancer vaccine from the Cleveland Clinic and Dr. Pogo’s work on the mammary tumor virus. Dr. Kathleen Ruddy has taken part in a webinar through the organization’s online presence. To hear the webinar, please access this link.

Our New Facebook Page

One additional development through the social media channels of Breast Health and Healing is the creation of a new Facebook page. This new page has all of the latest news of our organization as well as  the most recent photographs, videos, and content including Dr. Kathleen Ruddy’s attendance of the Clinton Global Initiative’s latest annual meeting. Please take a look at our new Facebook page here and don’t forget to click “Like!”

Film Documentary

One truly interesting development at BHHF is the up-and-coming film documentary being filmed and created by Steve Zukerman. This documentary will focus on the breast cancer virus and vaccine and will illuminate the work of Dr. Kathleen Ruddy and Dr. Vincent Tuohy of the Cleveland Clinic as well as Dr. Beatriz Pogo who has put in tremendous effort researching the mouse mammary tumor virus.

Two New Publications

The last important project to mention coming from the Breast Health and Healing Foundation is the publication of two new books: You Only See the Stars at Night and How to Cook a Revolution. Both books were written by our founder Dr. Kathleen T. Ruddy. The first book is an autobiography displaying the life Dr. Ruddy has led, helping women overcome a breast cancer diagnosis. The second book is filled with recipes that are geared toward breast cancer prevention. Each recipe has at least one ingredient known to prevent the disease. To purchase and read You Only See the Stars at Night, please click here. If you’d like to take a peek at How to Cook a Revolution, please click on this link.

These are all of the recent projects going on at the Breast Health and Healing Foundation. If you have any ideas on working with us on any other breast cancer awareness projects, please let us know! Please email us at fundraising@breasthealthandhealing.org or drruddy@breasthealthandhealing.org.
