Hope is not a plan

Thank you for visiting "Pink Shamrock", welcome.

The mission of the Pink Shamrock Foundation is to ensure that all women — especially those with limited funds and resources — have access to the care and support they need to fight breast cancer and win.

The Pink Shamrock Foundation is a tribute to, Denny Anne Murphy, who struggled for many years before being overcome by breast cancer. She was blessed with family and friends that were there for her every step of the way. After she passed away, her family and friends began to wonder how people face similar battles without any support.

Statistics show that the death rates of impoverished people are higher than those who have the means to battle breast cancer, and it is a tremendous battle. The Pink Shamrock Foundation is dedicated to giving hope. Breast cancer knows no class, race or geography lines; all women are at risk. However, breast cancer’s seemingly egalitarian nature stops there: Women in lower socioeconomic levels have the lowest breast cancer survival rate on record.

It was this information that led her family and friends to start the Pink Shamrock Foundation to help people who are falling between the cracks of the medical system.
