Mission
By encouraging individuals to learn, record, and share their family history of cancer with their health care providers, the rate of underdiagnosed hereditary cancers in our communities can be reduced.
Vision
To increase awareness about the importance of ancestry and family history in hereditary cancers.
To share knowledge about the two primary gene mutations – BRCA1, and BRCA2 and other gene
mutations, which are linked to increasing the risk of developing breast, ovarian, prostate, pancreatic, and other cancers.
To encourage those with a family history of cancer to seek genetic testing and counselling.
To support, inspire and empower cancer patients, survivors, previvors and their families to thrive and live healthier lives.
