Join us at the Let’s Beat Breast Cancer Rally! This free and festive community gathering honoring Breast Cancer Awareness Month will bring together local experts, community advocates, and breast cancer survivors with the energy and music of community drum lines—a fun way to ensure the message of prevention is heard loud and clear!
The Rally will be held at the Lake Anne Plaza Farmer’s Market & Craft Fair so you can enjoy some shopping, too! VSDC will have an informational table, so please stop by and say hello! VSDC-ers who are willing are also invited to hold signs and pass out literature.
According to a [recent 2024 survey](https://click.everyaction.com/k/92740829/498144587/1456243708?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAwMy8xLzczMTQ3IiwNCiAgIkRpc3RyaWJ1dGlvblVuaXF1ZUlkIjogIjNkZWFjNGQ2LWUwNzEtZWYxMS05OTFhLTYwNDViZGE4YWFlOSIsDQogICJFbWFpbEFkZHJlc3MiOiAid2VuZHkuZS5maW5uQGdtYWlsLmNvbSINCn0%3D&hmac=CZVUlcJmZFMzVj5lJCyDNsOYfNjEyRqiuvhUIj4wfn4=&emci=35439905-d571-ef11-991a-6045bda8aae9&emdi=3deac4d6-e071-ef11-991a-6045bda8aae9&ceid=5070321), fewer than 3 in 10 women know that what they eat can reduce their risk of breast cancer. That is why it’s so important to “make some noise” and “beat the drum” for the four-pronged approach—**eating plants**, exercising, avoiding alcohol, and maintaining a healthy weight!
