In 1995, after Drs. James and Mark Kaley faced the devastation of their wife and mother, Martha, being diagnosed with breast cancer that was discovered accidentally, the Kaley family founded Friends For An Earlier Breast Cancer Test. The single mission of Friends is to support new, innovative research to identify a BIOLOGICAL test that would detect the presence of breast cancer far earlier than is now available, possibly before a tumor has even formed. To learn more about the ground-breaking research funded by Friends and how you can help support this important mission, click here.
