Alexandra M. Eanes established the Alison Eanes Score Foundation for Breast Cancer Education, on October 23, 2005, as a tribute to her sister, Alison Eanes Score, who fought Inflammatory Breast Cancer. Diagnosed at the age of 35, Alison underwent chemotherapy, radiation, a double mastectomy, and a hysterectomy. Alison was a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a mother to two children. It is their hope that young women learn the importance of breast health issues and feel armed to deal with them positively and proactively.
