10th Breast Cancer Awareness Conference

Saturday, October 1st

We hope you can join us for the breast cancer awareness education conference on October 1st at the Minneapolis Convention Center. The conference starts at 8:30am (check-in starts at 8:00am) with a welcome ceremony followed by 3 breakout seminars. With Muscles is offering 2 breakout sessions called “Exercise: Women and Breast Cancer.”

For more information or to register online, please go to www.bcaamn.org.

Each year an increasing number of women and men are diagnosed with breast cancer at a younger age. Through education people will not only learn to survive this disease but, also learn to live more courageously, creatively and with grace. This conference was created by two survivors, Ann Harris and Lois Joseph, to fulfill a desperate need for a broad range of cutting edge information about breast health. In a supportive, inspiring, and non-threatening environment, Living with Breast Cancer provides the education and resources desired by a growing number of people as breast cancer touches more and more lives.
