Twenty years ago, in 1995, Martha Kaley founded earlier.org, an organization dedicated to detecting breast cancer earlier and finding a biological method for detecting the disease. Martha, featured above and a breast cancer survivor herself, plays an active role in helping get breast cancer research funded. Breast cancer can be in the body for eight years before a machine can detect it and one in eight women will be diagnosed with the disease. Those are alarming statistics.
We caught up with Martha on Tuesday, at Chic-Fil-A in Friendly Center, where she was helping with the fundraiser for earlier.org. For the suggested donation of a dollar, you could sign the above pink, DRIVING HOPE mobile. It was donated by Crown Automotive and will be auctioned off to help Martha and earlier.org find an earlier breast cancer test. If you recognize the Kaley name, it may be because Martha's husband (James) and son (Mark) are both orthodontists in Greensboro. It is inspiring to see how committed the whole family is to the cause. Martha and her family are a prime example of how individuals can make a difference.
Thank heavens for people like Martha hey Janis, the world is a better place because of them!
