WE NEED YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER to help us recruit women just like you!  The Sister Study needs a total of 50,000 women by the end of 2007.  We currently have 33,000 women enrolled in the study which means we need to recruit 17,000 more women by the end of this year.  Our most successful method of recruitment is through word of mouth, so this is where you can play a pivotal role today. 

Through your personal participation in the Sister Study, you are making a tremendous contribution to breast cancer research.  But we have another important request.  Please forward this email to other women, friends and family members who may be interested.  Or give them a call or a brochure about the study (call 1-877-474-7837 for brochures).  If each current participant in the Sister Study helps us recruit one other woman this year, we will reach our goal and complete our recruitment phase on time!  Remember, breast cancer affects women from every walk of life, so we need women of all backgrounds, occupations, and ethnic groups to join.

You may be eligible to join the Sister Study if -

Ø      Your sister (living, deceased), related to you by blood, had breast cancer

Ø      You are between 35 and 74 years old

Ø      You have never had breast cancer yourself

Ø      You live in the U.S. or Puerto Rico
