The Byrd Cancer Education & Advocacy Foundation is excited to announce our upcoming “All Things Cancer & Wellness Expo” event, sponsored by Touch, The Black Breast Cancer Alliance.

We’re especially thrilled about the premiere documentary screening of “A Letter to My Sisters: the Erica Jo Robinson Story.” A Letter to My Sisters, a breast cancer awareness documentary has garnered support from influential figures, including Senator Coons of Delaware, Rep Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware, Lt Gov Bethany Hall-Long of Delaware, and PA Speaker of the House, Rep Joanna McClinton.
