2013 Annual Report - After Breast Cancer Diagnosis

2013 Annual Report
President’s Letter
Dear Friends,
I am very pleased to offer
you this report of ABCD’s
remarkable growing impact in
2013. We made great strides
toward ABCD’s vision of making
our distinct, profoundly personal
one-to-one breast cancer
support services available on
a national basis to every one
affected by breast cancer patients, families and friends.
2013 was the 3rd year of our
5-year strategic plan, which
set ambitious goals. This past
year, through the energetic and
loyal commitment of many, key
milestones were met – and often
exceeded. After acquiring
the assets of Y-ME, the national
breast cancer support organization
that closed in 2012, ABCD acted
boldly to expand its reach in
Wisconsin, the Midwest and
throughout the nation. More
resources than ever were
dedicated to outreach, mission
infrastructure and collaboration.
ABCD’s successful service
this past year exemplifies The
Many Hearts Behind the Power
of One-to-One, the theme for
this year’s report. Every act of
mentoring is the product of the
hard work and labor of care
and concern by ABCD’s many
volunteers, donors, staff and
leadership.
As a result, highlights of ABCD’s
2013 accomplishments include:
Word gets out about ABCD’s
Mentor services through its
public presence via internet,
community outreach, and
endorsement by healthcare
professionals. Mentors,
volunteers, Board and staff
participate in scores of public
showcases such as community
health fairs, faith-based outreach
events, gatherings for the
medically underserved, meetings
of women’s groups, workplace
wellness events, and conferences
for healthcare professionals
and cancer patients, including
this year, the inaugural National
Women’s Survivors Convention.
»» Moving the Helpline to “the
cloud,” expanding immediate,
one-to-one support from a
Helpline Mentor to 6 days a week
»» Enhancing rural program
outreach and healthcare
partner collaboration,
including special initiatives in
San Antonio, Texas and with
Walter Reed Medical Center
»» Growing the volunteer
Mentor Corps to nearly 500
survivors and co-survivors
who hail from 45 states plus
Washington, D.C.
»» Increasing our signature
service, one-to-one
personalized Match
Mentoring, by nearly 100%
Each Helpline caller receives
immediate support, reliable
resource information and
connections, as well as easy
access to a Match Mentor.
Each Match is supported by a
customized portfolio for the
participant, a Match Support
Kit for the Mentor, as well as
thoughtful, personalized staff
follow up. Mentors also assist
with vetting resources so that
ABCD can connect people to
exactly what they need and,
when possible, to resources in
their own communities.
2013, this included enriched
and expanded continuing
education and support for
the entire Mentor Corps. In
addition, ABCD stepped up its
national service in the breast
cancer community, where the
National Breast Cancer Coalition
welcomed ABCD Board member
Bonnie Anderson to its Board of
Directors.
ABCD’s distinct and growing
impact is reflected in the more
than 1,500 direct, personalized
services provided by Mentors
and staff and the more than
twice as many personalized
connections to vetted
complementary resources.
ABCD’s reach has become
expansive – in 2013 we provided
one-to-one personalized support
to people in 45 states plus
Washington, D.C., the Caribbean
and Europe.
Through direct experience and
training, Mentors are prepared to
listen, inform, assist and support
breast cancer patients and their
loved ones. Their efforts to
provide personalized help rely
upon the dedication and loyalty
of our volunteer ambassadors,
donors, sponsors, program
specialists, pro bono educators,
volunteer leadership and more.
These are The Many Hearts
Behind the Power of One-To-One.
commitment and compassion of
our volunteers and the amazing
generosity of our sponsors and
donors that we can offer this
report of success and optimism.
With gratitude,
Mark S. Young
And, ABCD’s commitment to
survivorship service extends
beyond the front lines. Behind
the scenes, ABCD Mentors
receive personalized support
as they support others. In
A very special
2013 President, Board of
Directors
2014 will mark ABCD’s 15th
anniversary and holds promise
for even more gratifying impact.
On behalf of ABCD’s Board
of Directors, I thank you for
your loyal support of ABCD’s
mission. It is only because of the
thank you ...
ABCD offers extraordinary thanks to:
The Harley-Davidson Motor Company for its commitment to the national expansion
of the ABCD Helpline. Its partnership in broadening our reach, increasing services and
deepening impact is essential to the empowerment of those affected by breast cancer.
Our partners in transforming the expectations for breast support – those loyal and
generous donors who have made multi-year commitments to ABCD so that we may build
the future of profoundly personalized breast cancer support. These donors are noted in
the donor acknowledgment section with a e designation.

Shirley A. Horton, Family & Friends Mentor
I started my participation with ABCD with my sister. She was diagnosed
in 1997 and was in the first ABCD Mentor Group. After that I joined
the Family & Friends group. I walked the journey with my sister until
November of 2001.
Being a Family & Friends Mentor gives me pleasure in helping those that
are co-survivors. As caregivers, we need to know what we can do to help
our loved ones and make sure they are comfortable and to help them
enjoy their time with us. Those that I have mentored were happy that
there was someone there for them, someone who understood.
Thru my volunteering with ABCD, I have learned a lot about breast cancer.
Because of my belief in the organization, I have also recommended
several survivors to ABCD. When I know of someone who has been
diagnosed with breast cancer and they need someone to talk to, I
recommend ABCD.
Sandy Mascari-Devitt, Mentor & Ambassador
I am a 3 1/2 year breast cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with Stage III Grade III
Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, November 2010. I underwent neoadjuvant chemo; a
double mastectomy with full axillary lymph node dissection, adjuvant chemo, radiation
treatment and am currently receiving hormone therapy for ER+ tumor type.
I have been a volunteer ABCD Match Mentor for a little over 2 years and have
just recently trained to be an ABCD Helpline Mentor. I feel blessed everyday
when I can walk with another woman and help her through the fog of a breast
cancer diagnosis. I had incredible support systems when I was going through my
journey, however, there is just something about being able to talk with another
breast cancer survivor that puts all the pieces together and helps things make
sense. Makes you want to say “Aaah....that’s exactly how I feel!.” or “I am so glad
to know that someone else experienced that too and I am not crazy or alone in
this!” So if through my volunteering with ABCD, just one woman I mentor says
something similar then I feel blessed to have been invited along on her journey!
Cindy Sellon, Participant & Mentor
When I was first diagnosed I called ABCD. My Mentor got me through a
tough time so I knew I wanted to reciprocate. Since I became a Mentor,
I have been lucky to speak with amazing, strong women from all over the
country. I am so honored that they share their very personal stories. I hope
that the support I offer helps, even if it’s just a little.
My Mentor and I connected the first time we talked. She gets through
tough situations with such grace and optimism. Our relationship has
grown to one of mutual support and we are looking forward to
meeting in person.
Serap McElmurry, Participant
ABCD has been a great help for me since I’ve been diagnosed with breast
cancer (stage 1 Invasive Ductile Carcinoma). When I was told I would have
to undergo chemotherapy, I was really scared. That’s when ABCD linked
me with a Mentor, to help me through my chemotherapy treatments. I
didn’t think I could go through my chemotherapy treatments without her
help. She was extremely attentive to my needs by checking in with me
after each of my treatments to make sure I was okay both physically and
emotionally. Also, I appreciated the fact that ABCD continued to keep
in touch with me during my treatments. My post chemotherapy illness
prevented me from returning ABCD’s calls but, their calls did not stop to
make sure I was okay. I look forward to continuing to work with ABCD
as a Mentor to another newly diagnosed breast cancer patient.
Emma Muniz, Participant, Mentor & Ambassador
My diagnosis was made on Dec. 3, 2003. As all women, I was in a state
of shock! I had heard of Melodie Wilson and what she was going through
with her own experience with this dreadful disease. I called ABCD and
explained the changed life I was going to be experiencing. After some
questions, I was told someone would call me back. I was immediately put
in contact with a Mentor that was to be my guardian angel forever!
After my one year of treatment, I decided, I too, wanted to help other
women taking this journey; no one should go through this alone. I
contacted ABCD and started my training and have been a Mentor going
on ten years now! I was the only Spanish speaker at the time I became
a Mentor, and I am so honored to have helped so many others. I’m in
remission and have been a survivor all thanks to my association with
ABCD and the wonderful new friends in my life!
Charity Bryan, Participant
After my diagnosis of IBC (inflammatory Breast Cancer) I was scared
and lost. I turned to ABCD for support, and they were able to match me
with a Mentor that gave me all of that and then some. I bonded with her
and she has been like a second Mom and is truly a great friend that I will
have for a lifetime. I’m not sure what I would have done without her as I
went through all of those treatments, surgeries, and beyond. I can’t wait
until my 1 year post-treatment anniversary so that I can become an ABCD
Mentor as well, and hopefully be a source of support for someone else
who is walking in those terrifying shoes.
Dara Kumbera, Participant, Mentor & Ambassador
My name is Dara Kumbera and I have had the great privilege of both
receiving and giving support. I truly believe that the Mentor I was paired
with when I called ABCD helped me go through my journey without
falling into a depression. While I had wonderful family and friend support,
there was something my Mentor gave that they couldn’t… COMPLETE
UNDERSTANDING!! I have had the privilege of mentoring four women
since I became a Mentor. Each time I have been matched, I am amazed
at how much I have in common with these women besides breast cancer.
One of my matches was especially wonderful. We both had great support
systems, daughters that have messy bedrooms, and LOVE Disney World!!
None of this was asked in the intake interview when she called in or when
I filled out the Mentor application. A lot of our conversations were not
about cancer but about our children and families and trips to Disney
World! The power of these matches is amazing!
Karen Leonard, Participant & Mentor
Five years ago I was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC). At
my request, ABCD matched me with an IBC Mentor. She provided me with
compassionate support, advice, and lots of listening time. Because she was
an excellent role model, I trained to be a Mentor for persons diagnosed with
IBC. It is personally rewarding to assist someone else through the IBC journey.
While suggestions, tears, and fears are shared so are joy, hope, and laughter.
The experience has resulted in wonderful bonding experiences and we write
and talk frequently. While meeting with a mentee is not an ABCD expectation,
I have met some of my mentees. I look forward especially to meeting my
young, funny, global- activist mentee who lives in the D.C. area. And while I am
the Mentor, roles are often reversed. I have learned much from the mentees
about positive determination, inner strength, and how to share with loved
ones at the end of an IBC journey. I thank ABCD for the support I had as a
mentee and for the opportunity to form caring relationships with my mentees.

While science searches for a cure, ABCD supports people affected by
breast cancer - NOW.
ABCD is an independent organization that collaborates with hospitals, clinics
and other organizations, but does not provide medical or other professional
advice. All services are provided free of charge and made possible because
of private donations, in-kind assistance and volunteers’ commitment.
One-to-One support also includes Helpline Mentoring, offering immediate
emotional support and reliable information from trained breast cancer
survivors, as well as Resource Mentoring – active connection to additional
resources not provided by ABCD directly. We also offer MORE: Mentor
OutReach & Education – featuring ABCD Mentors and Ambassadors who
promote awareness of breast cancer, survivorship services and related
information, especially in underserved communities.
ABCD’s signature service, One-to-One Match Mentoring features pairings
that are customized; they are based upon similar diagnoses and life
circumstances – from hobbies to major life events – so that support
is truly personal. Many Mentors are multi-lingual and free translation
services are available. All match conversations include the key question:
what do you need now?
ABCD’s approach is truly individualized and personalized. We are not a support
group, unmonitored chat room or automated process. We bring together breast
cancer patients and survivors. Our volunteer survivors have been professionally
trained and are supported themselves while they mentor others navigating the
breast cancer journey. We call this One-to-One Mentoring.
At ABCD we understand the distinct wisdom of someone who has “been
there” – we understand the Power of One-to-One. Our services are
available anywhere there is a telephone or internet connection.
Since 1999, ABCD: After Breast Cancer Diagnosis has been transforming
breast cancer support. ABCD’s mission: provide FREE, personalized
information and one-to-one support to people affected by breast cancer –
patients, families and friends.
