Fast Facts
• Last year our grantees diagnosed 236% more breast cancers in
Central Florida.
• New guidelines say there is now enough evidence to strongly
recommend physical activity and better nutrition for survivors. The guidelines
state that for many cancers, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising and
eating a healthy diet can reduce the risk that
cancer will return.
