Dear DaisyMe family,

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month — and this year, we're using our voice for the women the numbers keep leaving behind.

The American Cancer Society reports that Black women are 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women, even though we're diagnosed less often. For Black women diagnosed before age 50, the death rate is two-to-one.

This gap has roots: later diagnoses, aggressive forms of the disease, delays in follow-up care — and a history, from Henrietta Lacks to Tuskegee, that left too many of us wary of the very systems meant to heal us.

But here's what we know: early detection saves lives. Mammograms starting at 40, follow-through on every result, and a navigator in your corner when the system feels confusing.

That's what DaisyMe does — free, always.

This month, here's how you can help:

💗 Share our new blog post — "The Gap We Can't Ignore" — with the women in your life. One share can start the conversation that saves someone.

💗 Get free support — Need help finding a mammogram or understanding your next step? We're here: daisyme.org

💗 Donate — Your gift keeps navigation free for families across DFW and Texas: daisyme.org/donate

Thank you for being part of a community that shows up for each other.

With love, The DaisyMe Foundation Team 💗

P.S. Know a woman over 40 who hasn't been screened? Send her this post. It might be the nudge she needs.
