Even in these tough times, it is easy to learn your cancer risk

Cancer is still touching the lives of many. Almost 30,000 Alabama men and women will be diagnosed with cancer, and more than 10,000 will die in 2020. The simple saliva test, offered by Kailos Genetics, screens for the well-known BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, as well as several dozen other genes linked to breast, ovarian, colon, prostate, pancreatic, and other cancers.

To help us reach our goal of 5,000 tests, HudsonAlpha offered the Information is Power test for FREE to those 19 years of age and older in Madison, Limestone, Jackson, Marshall, or Morgan Counties. You rose to the challenge and on June 29, we reached our goal of 5,000 tests. Thanks to all of you! We are gathering support to fund more free tests to a wider age range (stay in touch by filling in the form on the bottom of this page). As of June 30, 2020, the Information is Power cancer-screening test is still offered at a reduced rate of $129 for those 19 and older, and is still FREE for those 28, 29, and 30 years of age in the 5 counties.

What you learn can have an impact on your life and the life of your family. Please help us spread the word.
