In 1990, the chance of developing breast cancer for a woman living on Long Island was one in nine.

Today, it is one in eight; in parts of Suffolk County, one in seven.

Progress has been made.

But not enough.

We are fighting an uphill battle.

Yet we believe that we can win.


Thank you for visting 1in9.org. Since 1990, 1 in 9: The Long Island Breast Cancer Action Coalition has been committed to fighting the cancer epidemic through education, outreach, environmental advocacy, spearheading changes to legislation affecting cancer issues, and continuously raising money to support innovative epidemiological cancer research projects at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. We invite visitors to read about 1 in 9's ten years of milestones and hope that you will join us in our efforts.
