October has always been a bittersweet month for me and my family. It is a month of great reflection on those we have lost in the fight against breast cancer, including Stefanie. But it is also a month of empowerment, progress and celebration as people from across the country unite to raise funds and awareness during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Thank you for your support of the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research. I want to assure you that your contributions are making a profound difference in the lives of breast cancer patients and survivors. And I implore you to renew your support today, as all donations made during October will be matched, up to $10,000, by me and my family. Gifts to the Spielman Fund fuel research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James). And it's not just any research, but transformational research that is taking discoveries from the lab and applying them to patients today. Discoveries like a new “bra,” now in clinical trials, that will help women detect tumors earlier than ever. Or research that is giving hope to older women, who are facing higher rates of diagnosis than ever before. And discoveries that have people traveling from across the country to seek treatment at the OSUCCC – James. It starts with you! Please join me in supporting breast cancer research at the OSUCCC – James. Any gift can make a world of difference in the lives of our patients. Continue to fight. Continue to live. Please, give today. Chris Spielman Founder, The Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research
