We wanted to share with you that on Sunday we sponsored a bus (filled with 40 women) to participate the New York City - Race for the Cure. It's a 5K run/walk through Central Park that is a fundraiser for breast cancer research sponsored by the Susan Komen Foundation. Our youngest participant was 4 months old and our oldest 70 years. We carried a sign that said Lactation Resource Center Chatham, NJ reducing the risk of breast cancer one baby at a time ..... We had compiled a fact sheet of the research abstracts and citations that support the claim that breastfeeding and being breastfed reduces one's risk of breast cancer. We shared this sheet with all who were interested - esp. handed them to hospital "teams" and breast cancer prevention center "teams". Maria Parlapiano, RN, IBCLC and Carol Smith BA, IBCLC
