The Breast Cancer Survivors Network, based in Peachtree City, is a 501 c (3) non-profit organization providing assistance, education, and positive support services before, during and after diagnosis, treatment and recovery of breast cancer. Founded and operated by Janet Beebe, a breast cancer survivor of 27 years, the Network supports 30 local breast cancer support groups in Fayette County, Coweta County and across the state. BCSN also hosts groups for young adult survivors, minorities and Spanish speaking women. In addition to providing emotional support one on one and through group meetings, the Network also provides a Hope Closet offering items such as wigs, bras, prosthesis, hats, turbans, etc. for those in need; financial aide for mammograms; a Hope Line supported by trained breast cancer survivors; a Pink Prayer line offering prayer support from local churches; and so much more. The BCSN truly touches the lives of individuals facing and surviving the fight of their lives. The Walk for Walk … A Walk For Hope is an opportunity to support and generate funds that will be used in our communities to support local family members and friends. A portion of the funds raised will also be donated to a state hospital to assist in breast cancer research.
If you are in need of support or have questions regarding breast cancer or the Walk, please contact the Breast Cancer Survivors Network office, 770-487-4396. Supporting The Breast Cancer Survivors Network and Breast Cancer Research.
