CAKES has donated over $1.5M to women's health causes in just 4 years and this year, we're committing a minimum of $250,000 to BCRF by June 2027.

Community stories

All of us know someone impacted by breast cancer and these stories help drive research funding & progress. 

We’re making space to share the stories of amazing women in our community impacted by the disease either directly or through a loved one. Your stories can make a difference.

  • Karen

    “You are not ‘too young’ to be at risk for breast cancer. I found my first lump at only 17 years old and it was terrifying — now at 30, I receive scans every six months. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer three times.”

  • Dani

    “I was 30 years old with no family history and no warning sign — just a lump I almost talked myself out of checking. Nine years later, I still think about how differently that day could have gone if I hadn't pushed past 'you're too young.' That's why funding research for younger women matters to me. It's not just about catching it early, it's about better prevention, smarter risk assessment, real health equity, and treatment that actually works for someone my age when I was diagnosed.” 

  • Rosa

    “I was 28 years old when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. And before I was diagnosed, I was told I was too young. That’s why the CAKES & Breast Cancer Research Foundation She’s Not Too Young Fund means so much to me. It’s research specifically for younger women like me.”

  • Jenifer

    “It can happen to women with every shape of breasts. I always thought my small breasts were highly unlikely to get cancer… and I had no family history. Listen to your gut and get a primary care provider who can follow through all stages of life.”
