John W. Nick Foundation was founded 15 years ago (November 9, 1995), in memory of John W. Nick, who died from breast cancer, at the age of 58. JWNF is the oldest Male Breast Cancer Foundation in the world. It was 20 years ago, in 1991, that Nancy Nick promised her father she would tell the world "MEN Get Breast Cancer Too!" Through her hard work, and that of a dedicated Board of Directors and countless volunteers, the world is hearing that exact message: "Men Get Breast Cancer Too!!" Breaking News from Nancy Nick: ; ; e
-
The Few, The Proud, The Forgotten: Mike Partain was born at Camp Lejeune, NC, and was diagnosed with male breast cancer in June 2007. He began looking for other men from Camp Lejeune with breast cancer and to date has found 70 men.
- From Our Guestbook:"We have an awful family history of breast cancer. It has taken the lives of my great grandmother, my grandmother and her sister, my mother and her younger sister. My surviving aunt has had it twice. In March '09 I was diagnosed, and a week later, for the second time, my brother was diagnosed - this time with stage IV. I cannot believe the number of people who never knew, until I tell them, that men even get breast cancer. It's a horrible disease whether in men or women."
Sincerely,
Nancy E. Nick, Founder, President, CEO
