President Bill Clinton supports the National Breast Cancer Coalition's Breast Cancer Deadline 2020

I'm glad to have this chance to share my appreciation to the National Breast Cancer Coalition for all the important work you do on a cause that as all of you know I hold close to my heart.

After my mother's own fight against breast cancer ended in 1994, I asked Fran Visco, the co-chair of the National Action Plan on Breast Cancer to look into finding way to eradicate this devastating disease. She did a great job, and we made a lot of progress. After I left the White House, I continued to keep in touch with Fran and try to help where I could.

I'm very grateful for the chance I've had to continue to support these efforts. But despite all of our trying, breast cancer continues to take too many lives every year. It's time to give breast cancer a deadline. That's why I applaud the National Breast Cancer Coalition's courage to launch this ambitious campaign to end breast cancer by 2020. The stakes are too high, the losses have been too great to let another decade go by without a cure. And if I know anyone who can do this, it's you.
