Chino – During the entire month of October, 139 auto repair shops from across the United States will offer free brake pads to their customers to help put the Brakes on Breast Cancer.

Brakes for Breast Cancer’s team is run by Dr. Vincent Tuohy at the Cleveland Clinic where they have effectively performed trials for a breast cancer vaccine. The team is working to test the vaccine on humans later on this year. If successful with their tests, the United States will officially have a vaccine for triple negative breast cancer.

Dr. Tuohy’s reasearch will continue until he finds a vaccine for ovarian cancer, prostate cancer and a multitude of other diseases, so it’s important that you donate on their website.
