Breast Cancer Help, Inc. is a not-for-profit grass roots organization
with a focus on action and advocacy to eradicate breast cancer.
Founded in 1994 by Lorraine Pace, a breast cancer survivor, and Father
Thomas Arnao, the group promotes education and awareness of breast
cancer issues. Pace was also the founder of the West Islip breast cancer
mapping project, which pinpointed breast cancer clusters. This
original mapping project, which spearheaded the breast cancer
environmental movement, has now spread to other parts of New York, the U.S.
and abroad. Breast Cancer Help's commitment to the fight against
breast cancer includes making lease payments in excess of $7,700 per
month for a digital mammography system at Stony Brook University Hospital,
helping to ensure that Long Islanders have access to the best possible
diagnosis and medical care available. In March of 2003, Breast Cancer Help
opened its Cancer Help and Wellness Center, in memory of Marian
McGrory's daughter, Maureen in Lindenhurst with the goal of increasing
cancer awareness to promote early detection, while providing patients
and survivors with needed support.
