Over 1500 new breast cancer cases are diagnosed each year in Lithuania. Marking #WorldCancerDay,
We’d like to encourage women to perform timely health check-ups. In over 10 years via the Blossom of Hope initiative, International Women's Association of Vilnius has raised about 200 000 EUR for biopsy needles and breast markers, donating them to Lithuanian Oncology Hospitals. |

We are happy to announce the IWAV board has selected the Blossom of Hope 2019 Commitee Chair - Ms Lidija Rasutis! Lidija is an American Lithuanian TV host, born in Chicago and currently living in Lithuania. We hope all of the Lithuanian Community will join her and the members of IWAV in fighting the fight against breast cancer in Lithuania.
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.
