Title: Breast Cancer Awareness in New Mexico

Problem:
Breast Cancer is common within New Mexico. The Major problem is the fact that it is unknown about. People feel Breast Cancer is at a low but really it is rising at an alarming rate. Money is not commonly put into Breast Cancer research and awareness due to the ignorance of the people inside of New Mexico.

Our goal, in this project, is to increase the money put into Breast Cancer awareness and research by informing people of the Breast Cancer epidemic. We will provide visual models of Breast Cancer money with in the few years. Our models will show the effects of money. We should be able to find a rough estimate of money put into with the best results.

Progress so far:
We have contacted our mentors. We have attempted to contact many people in the Cancer Research area. We have talked to our mentor and have received tips on how to present out project. We have been informed of who we shall contact. One of the people we talked to told us to contact the Department Of Health. We have many numbers of Cancer Centers. We will find a time rather soon to arrange a meeting with the president of a company for personal help.

Results:
We plan to inform many people of money put into Breast Cancer and the effects it has. Once we are done, if available, we will give our project to a Cancer Research center where they may use it to their advantage.
