American Internet Tech donates to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (October 2021)
This October is the 30th anniversary of the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program. Early detection is one of the most important strategies for treating breast cancer successfully, and regular screenings are the most reliable way to detect it early. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many parts of our lives, and has produced new deficits in breast cancer early detection, so there is renewed urgency to getting these recommended screenings scheduled, before a cancer has spread and becomes less treatable. Everyone should maintain their scheduled screenings, doctor appointments, and treatments without delay while observing coronavirus safety measures.
First Lady Jill Biden is proud to be a part of that movement, having founded the Biden Breast Health Initiative, which educated high school girls in Delaware about breast health and helped them spread the word to their own families. She has also called for the creation of an Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health at the National Institutes of Health (ARPA-H) which would invest $6.5 billion to develop breakthroughs that prevent, detect, and treat cancer and other deadly diseases. Her American Rescue Plan also expands access to affordable health insurance coverage, ensuring that more women are able to receive these screenings and treatments without worrying about cost.
Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to 80% in the U.S. Monthly donations can help them continue their tradition of leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
This month, American Internet Tech proceeds to a monthly donation to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in order to contribute to the advancements of tomorrow that will help make the world a little brighter in the future.
