When
the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation was established in 1955, children with cystic
fibrosis (CF) rarely lived long enough to attend elementary school. Due in

Komen for the Cure currently provides funding to West Virginia University Mary Babb Cancer Center to develop small media campaigns to promote Bonnie’s Bus. Bonnie’s Bus is a mobile digital mammography unit that will provide mammograms to patients who have historically not had access to screening. The grant also supports the development of a statewide network for newly-diagnosed breast cancer patients to gain access to clinical trials. WVU is developing an infrastructure for a statewide clinical trials network and referral tree to provide timely, appropriate state-of-the-art treatment to underserved women diagnosed through Bonnie’s Bus.
