Bahamas Breast Cancer Initiative
Ride for Hope Bahamas provided substantial start up support to the Bahamas Breast Cancer Initiative (BBCI) - a multi-player program under-taking promising research into the mutations of the BRCA1 gene unique to The Bahamas. RFH's grant to BBCI & its partners at the University of Miami Cancer Center have helped fund this critical scientific work. Hopefully this research will be the first step in overcoming the terrible legacy of aggressive and deadly breast cancer, a leading cause of death in Bahamian women.
