This October, here's how you can take action

• Get Involved
  

  There are so many ways you can get involved and make a direct impact in the fight against breast cancer.

  • Challenge your MPP to ensure all Ontarians have access to cancer drugs
  • Join our Women to Women movement to educate other women about breast cancer screening and to raise funds to support breast cancer research.
  • Host your own fundraising event.
• Get Screened
  

  Screening tests help find breast cancer before any symptoms develop. When breast cancer is found and treated early, the chances of successful treatment are better. Find out more about breast cancer screening.
