Meet A. Gwen Caffrey, MD, a Medical Oncologist at UMass Memorial Health specializing in Breast Cancer. Q: What is your motivation to run the 2024 Falmouth Road Race for the UMass Memorial Health Cancer Center? A: I'm inspired by my Breast Cancer patients every day, as they not only endure challenging treatments, but find ways to thrive in spite of them. Q: Where are you from, and where do you live now? A: I was born in New England but grew up in Greenwich, New Jersey, a small town on the Delaware Bay. I now lives just outside the Worcester city limits. Q: What is a fun fact about yourself that people may not know? A: I have lived or worked in every New England state except one — Rhode Island. You can support Dr. Caffrey and cancer patients with your gift today: https://lnkd.in/eMu5sK_B

Did you know that 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime? October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we encourage you to join us in supporting those affected. The American Cancer Society advises women with an average risk to start annual mammograms at age 40. If you're under 40 and have risk factors, consult your doctor about when to start and how often to get screened. Mammograms can detect breast cancer up to three years before it can be felt, making them a crucial tool for early detection. #BreastCancerAwareness #EarlyDetection #SupportTheCause
