FINDING A CURE
Congratulations to the Abramson family for being featured on Pix 11 for their work with the The Cure Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF). Carly Abramson ’09 is the Co-Founder and President, Andrew Abramson ’71 is the Co-Founder and Treasurer and Lauren Mirman ’01 and Heather Symons ’01 are Vice Presidents. CBCF raises funds to devote entirely to research by Dr. Larry Norton and colleagues on the growth and spreading of breast cancer cells known as the Self-Seeding Theory, which provides radical new insight into how breast cancer grows and spreads. This research focuses on improving the understanding of not only breast cancer, but also other cancers, thereby helping to improve and understand how to better manage and treat these diseases. Dr. Norton feels this is one of the most exciting new research ideas in the quest to cure cancer. www.curebreastcancerfoundation.org
