Here is some welcoming good news!

In 2020, an unprecedented pandemic year, Miles of Hope has helped 2,200 people affected by breast cancer within the Hudson Valley; Dutchess, Orange, Ulster, Putnam, Westchester, Rockland, Sullivan, Columbia and Greene counties, including:

700 women in treatment for breast cancer with their bills and finances, transportation to and from treatment, wigs, medical expenses, food and gasoline;
1500 people with advice and counsel from the Peer to Peer Hotline (800-532-4290);
14 college-bound students affected by breast cancer with scholarships.

Here are the facts:

Because of COVID-19, one third of Americans have missed scheduled cancer screenings which means in the next decade, the lack of screenings could result in 10,000 excess cancer deaths;
Minority women, young women (ages 18-39) and women diagnosed with stage 3 or 4 breast cancer are more likely to have financial difficulties due to their diagnoses;
Minority women with breast cancer are less likely to have insurance, creating further financial hardship.

The case for supporting Miles of Hope is clear. We are here for anyone diagnosed with breast cancer who needs help. In 2020, we granted $265,000 to individuals and programs helping those affected by breast cancer, and the need will only continue to grow.

You can help. Please donate so we can continue to do our great work!

The Founders and the Board of Directors sincerely thank you and wish you a happy and healthy holiday season.
