1. FACT: Join the only Jewish Walk/Run in the
world to benefit a BRCA Multidisciplinary
Clinic that serves women and men at high risk
of breast and ovarian cancer at Israel’s Rabin
Medical Center’s Davidoff Cancer Center.
FACT: Rabin Medical Center partners with
Memorial Sloan Kettering and Dana Farber to
eradicate cancer.
FACT: 1 in 7 Jewish women will be diag-
nosed with breast cancer. Over 22,000
women will develop ovarian cancer annually
in the USA. These forms of cancer are more
prevalent among Jewish women in the USA
and Israel.
FACT: 10% of breast cancer patients carry a
mutation in the BRCA genes, facing an 80%
chance of developing breast or ovarian cancer.
FACT: 2% of the Israeli population carries
the mutated gene, (higher than other ethnic
groups). Israeli women with a family history
of multiple malignancies, especially breast
and ovarian cancer, are routinely offered the
BRCA gene test at Rabin Medical Center.
FACT: Proceeds from this event benefit
the BRCA Multidisciplinary Clinic at Israel’s
Rabin Medical Center, a unique early man-
agement, life-saving clinic. Women will be
spared by early detection screening and
follow-up for breast and ovarian cancer.
FACT: The Davidoff Cancer Center at Rabin
includes six units and clinics and seven de-
partments to provide treatment for various
types of cancer and will be expanded to twice
its present size by 2017.
