There may be no more terrifying moment in a woman's life than finding a lump. If she has to tell the people she loves—husband, parents, children, partner, teammates, colleagues, friends, sisters, brothers—that it's cancer, all of those lives are changed forever.

Kicks Against Breast Cancer and EPYSA are asking for your help to insure that every year fewer and fewer women must have that terrible conversation.

"Help Save The Women You Love" is a new campaign in which Landon Donovan has agreed to be its first spokesman. Kicks is selling a gold on gold lapel pin of a soccer ball with a pink enameled ribbon. This has been the trademarked emblem for nine years of the Kicks Against Breast Cancer college soccer tournament in Maryland. The Kicks tournament was developed by MSYSA board member, Louise Waxler, as a fundraiser for the Claudia Mayer Cancer Resource & Image Center at Howard County Hospital in Columbia, MD. This is an innovative, model program that helps women living with breast cancer survive and thrive during the ordeal. It is an affiliate of the renowned Johns Hopkins Medicine.
