18th Anniversary Update

Heidi Schrage learned about Sharsheret when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 from her cousin who was running with Team Sharsheret in the TCS New York City Marathon. Now Heidi is an active member of our Sharsheret Illinois community and a member of their Advisory Board. Watch her video here .

Sharsheret kicked off our “Chai” Anniversary celebrations at our Annual Benefit Luncheon on May 19, 2019 in New Jersey, highlighting 18 years of Sharsheret’s commitment to supporting and educating women and families facing and at increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

When women are newly diagnosed, they often struggle with choosing their doctors. Through our Peer Support Network , women will now be able to speak with peer supporters to learn more about health care professionals they are considering for their treatment team. Please help us by letting us know which health care professionals - oncologists, surgeons, plastic surgeons, radiologists, genetic counselors, nutritionists,

etc. - you used. Click here to share your providers' names and contact information so that we can better support women in our communities facing breast and ovarian cancer. Thank you to Genentech and Sientra Full Circle for making our Peer Support Network possible.
