Sad news. 💔. More research is needed. 💖 🔬

[Janice Cowden @JaniceTNBCmets]

💔 - Heartbroken

Amy was my friend, my 🍷 buddy, fellow science nerd, early a.m. text partner, & one of the kindest, smartest people I’ve ever known.

Over the past 5+ years we shared conferences, adventures, laughs, & a friendship I will always treasure.

The world feels a little smaller & much sadder without her in it.

I’ll miss you terribly, Amy ❤️‍🩹

Ever wonder 🤔 if a charity donation YOU made had an impact?

💖 For 𝘼𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙣'𝙨 𝘼𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙨 donations it is a resounding RESOUNDING YES!

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 four 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬! 📝
🔬 DR. PRIYANKA SHARMA’S LAB – We awarded Dr. Sharma’s lab $30,000 from the 2025 funds, bringing the total Alison’s Allies donation to her lab to $57,000. UPDATE: The effect of cancer treatment on ovarian function and fertility is a very important condition for patients with breast cancer. Funding from Alison Allies
supported analysis of blood samples from Dr. Sharma’s investigator-initiated triple negative trials to study short- and long-term impact of chemotherapy & chemoimmunotherapy on ovarian function and reserve in young patients with TNBC. In addition, Alison Allies funding supported publication of work that identified a link between a patient's immune system and how well triple negative breast cancer may respond to radiation treatment. This work was also generated using tissue samples from Dr. Sharma’s triple negative trials. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive
form of BC.

🔬 DR. KATY SWANCUTT IN DR. DANNY WELCH’S LAB – We awarded $10,000 from the 2025 funds for research on cancer that has spread beyond the breast - metastatic breast cancer (mBC). This brings the total to $38,000 over the past several years. UPDATE: The lab is about to submit our first manuscript reporting the discovery of mitochondria-derived fragments of transfer RNA. We believe
those fragments are responsible for, among other things, regulating breast cancer metastasis. We are also using the data collected using critical seed funding from Alison’s Allies to
grant applications to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and other organizations. Dr. Swancutt presented an update at a conference in San Diego in April.

🔬 DR. JOAN LEWIS-WAMBI’S LAB We awarded $10,500 from the 2025 funds for continued research on Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC),
bringing the total to $33,000 over the past several years. UPDATE: Dr. Lewis-Wambi is happy to report that the funds provided by Alison’s Allies have been helpful as she resubmitted an NIH/R01 application. TNBC is highly
aggressive and more prevalent in African-American/Black women. Dr. Wambi’s research is very promising in
determining why this subgroup of women are more likely to be diagnosed with TNBC. The grant application received an excellent score. Fingers crossed! 🤞

💖 🔎BREAST CANCER SCREENING FOR UNDERSERVED WOMEN: We awarded a $6,600 to support breast cancer screening events for underserved KC women. This represents a $5600 grant from 100 Women Who Care Cedar Creek & $1,000 donation for earning the Gamechanger Award from KC Current & BlueKC! This brings the total to $28,600 over the past several years. UPDATE: Hope Krebill, Exec. Dir. of Masonic Cancer Alliance (MCA), reported that in 2025, the Breast Cancer Health Equity Taskforce partnered with community
organizations to increase BC screening awareness & participation among women of color by hosting Friend to Friend (FTF) events. These events focused on reaching women with a higher risk for breast cancer mortality and those with limited access to health care. These events emphasized the importance of regular mammograms through health care professional presentation and peer conversations facilitated by table hosts. In addition, onsite mammograms were provided at the events. During 2025, 54 women were screened & 268 women attended F2F educational & outreach events. For the first time, a Spanish-speaking event was held at Centro Cristiano Agua Viva. Alison Allies $ & Alison herself have been instrumental in supporting the training of table hosts, obtaining screening materials, funding the events, & providing funds for mammograms for women who are uninsured/underinsured. Alison creates a video after every event-sample: https://t.co/v0FeJA41pW 2026 event started again in April 2026!
