Join the Fight: Why Every Auto Professional Should Support Brakes for Breasts
After our latest podcast episode about Brakes for Breasts, I had a profound realization about the incredible work happening behind the scenes at Cleveland Clinic’s breast cancer research facility.
When the research clinic was described as operating “like an automotive shop or business,” it struck me how much we as automotive professionals can relate to their methodical, results-driven approach. Just as we diagnose problems and engineer solutions in our shops, these researchers are systematically working to solve one of medicine’s greatest challenges.
$2 Million and Counting: Real Impact, Real Progress
The $2 million raised by automotive professionals like us isn’t just sitting in an account—it’s actively funding breakthrough breast cancer vaccine research. This isn’t wishful thinking or preliminary studies. The vaccine initiative has progressed to clinical trials and is ready for Stage 2. This is a monumental achievement that we helped make possible.
