Who We Are
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to increase the breast health IQ of BIPOC and underserved communities and eliminate disparities in breast cancer outcomes.
WE BELIEVE
First-time, late-stage breast cancer diagnosis is preventable. There is clear evidence that women of color need different preventative measures. For our Founder and President Laura Crandon, she needed to be referred to additional screening after a dense breast mammogram, but she wasn’t. So, an aggressive form of cancer had 5 months to grow before she discovered a lump during a self-exam in the shower. Even after neoadjuvant chemo. The tumor was stage 2b.
OUR VISION
A world where no woman is surprised by breast cancer so late that her options are limited.
What We Do
Touch4Life™ is a 501c3 nonprofit that empowers Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) communities to achieve cancer health equity by bridging the gap in knowledge and access to engaging, educating, and empowering information and clinical diagnostic services to eliminate racial disparities in cancer outcomes. Focusing on biomarker and genetic testing, our signature Black Genes Matter™ initiative is changing the narrative with its multifaceted portfolio.
