Crosstrainer partners with the Breast Cancer Society of Canada

The Crosstrainer team goal is to continually help improve the lives and vitality of people around the world, whether it be fitness, wellness, or general life oriented. We feel strongly in supporting causes that impact our lives day in and day out. We at Crosstrainer are proud to announce that we have created a partnership with the Breast cancer society of Canada in an ongoing attempt to help find a cure. Donations of $2.00 will be given with your purchase of Crosstrainer 'pink' and any purchase of Crosstrainer fitness apparel.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian women and its cause is unknown. We truly believe that every dollar Canadians donate to research brings us one step closer to discovering the causes of breast cancer, better methods to prevent and detect it, treatments that are more effective and improving the quality of life for survivors.

In 2009,

...an estimated 22,700 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 5,400 will die from it.

...approximately 437 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer weekly and 104 will not survive it.

...1 in 9 women is expected to develop breast cancer during her lifetime (age 90) and 1 in 28 will die from it.

...it is expected that 180 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 50 will die from it.

...Breast cancer death rates have declined in all ages combined and in every age group since the mid 1990s.
