The Virginia Clinton Kelley Fund pays tribute to a woman whose life exemplified the vision and strength to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds to achieve her goals, and who embodied the grassroots spirit of the National Breast Cancer Coalition. The fund will support NBCCF programs, which educate and train breast cancer survivors to influence research and public policy, foster innovation in research and health care, and expand access to quality care. This fund will also support collaborations among women with breast cancer, researchers and health care stakeholders. Virginia Clinton Kelley lost her personal struggle with breast cancer. In her honor, this fund will result in bold strategies and creative approaches to achieve NBCCF's goal of eradicating breast cancer - another seemingly insurmountable challenge. President Clinton's commitments to winning the war on cancer and to improving the U.S. health care system are an important dimension of his legacy. His collaboration with the NBCC on the Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program and key legislation such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Act was a key driver of progress in women's health during his presidency. The development of the Virginia Clinton Kelley Fund will allow NBCC/F to continue to foster innovative ideas and enact meaningful change in her name. |
