HONORARY PATRON OF BLOSSOM OF HOPE 2018
U.S. Ambassador, ​the Honorable Anne Hall
​Blossom of Hope is an annual charity event organized by IWAV to raise funds to purchase much needed biopsy needles and breast markers for hospitals across Lithuania. The goal of the event is to encourage early breast cancer diagnosis by providing free biopsy needles necessary for testing.  According to medical statistics over several years, Lithuania has had a comparatively high percentage of breast cancer diagnosed at advanced stages of II and III. Treatment of  breast cancer at later stages poses a bigger challenge and lowers survival rate.
