Humane, nonanimal research being conducted by compassionate organizations such as the Avon Foundation, the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, and their vital joint project, the Army of Women, focus on how breast cancer starts in women's bodies and on identifying ways to combat the genetic and environmental factors that increase the risk of developing breast cancer.

But some health charities continue to fund cruel animal experiments.

Please tell them you want scientifically-sound and humane research that will stop breast cancer before it starts.

Send a single e-mail that will go to executives at all the charities listed below:

1. American Cancer Society

2. American-Italian Cancer Foundation

3. Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute

4. Breast Cancer Research Foundation

5. The Cancer Center for Detection and Prevention, Inc.

6. Coalition Against Breast Cancer

7. John Wayne Cancer Institute

8. Lynn Sage Cancer Research Foundation

9. National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund

10. National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.

11. Nina Hyde Center for Breast Cancer Research

12. Susan G. Komen for the Cure

13. Walker Cancer Research Institute

14. EIF/National Women's Cancer Research Alliance
