Help spread the message of breast cancer awareness by volunteering with Think Pink Bahrain.  The organization holds two fundraising events each year in efforts to reach the growing number of very young women in the Middle East who are diagnosed with breast cancer.  This number is growing at an alarming rate, and doctors want to know why this rate is growing faster in the Middle East than in the west.  Join the fight to help discover why.
