🎀 This #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, our Founding Executive Director Michele Young shares why we exist: to erase breast cancer through the science we have today. 💗 Early detection. Risk assessment. Vaccines. The science is moving toward prevention. Join us: pinkeraserproject.org. #OncoSky #CanSky

HB 371 made Ohio require screening coverage. But copays still block access. What's next? The #FindItEarlyAct. The bill would mean no-cost coverage for mammograms, breast ultrasounds & MRIs for high-risk patients because no woman should hear "low risk" twice. #BreastCancer #CanSky #OncoSky

Today is #WorldCancerResearchDay 🎗️ Research is why a breast cancer diagnosis looks different than it did 20 years ago — earlier detection, smarter screening, new treatments. At Pink Eraser Project, we thank the researchers pushing the next breakthrough forward. 💗 #BreastCancer #CanSky #OncoSky

HB 371 passed in 2022, but Michele hasn't stopped. Extra screening can still cost $200-$1,000 out of pocket — an impossible choice for many. A conversation with @katiecouric.bsky.social inspired the #FindItEarlyAct. Advocacy means showing up until the gaps close. #EraseBreastCancer #CanSky #OncoSky

Today marks 4 years since Ohio enacted The #BreastCancer Bill. HB371 requires coverage for supplemental screening for women with dense breasts or elevated risk, helping catch cancers earlier. 4 years in, it’s not abstract. It’s a second chance.🎗️ Read more: pinkeraserproject.org/hb-371-press...

Dense tissue hid Michele's cancer until stage 4. Her survival odds fell from 99% to 32% chance of surviving 5 yrs.* HB371 requires coverage for the supplemental screening that could have caught it sooner. The cost of waiting is measured in women we lose. *Source: @americancancersoc.bsky.social

She had no time to lose. Michele Young walked the OH Statehouse w/carnations & told her story. She found partners in Rep Schmidt & Denson, UC Health doctors & The Health Collaborative, building nearly 40 testimonies for HB371. It passed in 2022. That’s the power of showing up.

Pink Eraser Project® @pinkeraserproject.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Michele was told she was low risk. After years of normal mammograms, she was diagnosed with #stage4breastcancer. Dense tissue hid the tumor. Before HB 371, Ohio didn’t require coverage for supplemental screening. Four years later, her story shows why access to screening matters.

Pink Eraser Project® @pinkeraserproject.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
Big news: A personalized mRNA vaccine succeeded in a major Phase 3 melanoma trial. This matters because similar approaches are already showing promise in breast cancer, like triple-negative breast cancer. Now, we need to move faster. Fund the research. Expand trials. Get breakthroughs to patients.

No one should have to choose between basic necessities—like food, rent, or gas—and a lifesaving screening. Too many women need additional screening beyond a mammogram but cannot afford the high out-of-pocket costs. They often have to make this painful decision. We can—and we must—do better. Join us.
