\nAli S. Khan, M.D., M.P.H., is a real man because he wears pink.<\/p>\n

At least for the entire month of October, he has added pink to his daily apparel to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. <\/p>\n

The American Cancer Society (ACS) chose Dr. Khan, dean of UNMC’s College of Public Health, to be one of 17 community leaders in Omaha to be part of the local Real Men Wear Pink campaign<\/a> because of his leadership and passion to make Nebraska the healthiest and most equitable state in the nation. <\/p>\n

Breast cancer affects men and women. Every year, more than 240,000 women and 2,600 men in the U.S. are diagnosed with breast cancer.<\/p>\n

ACS is determined to save lives from breast cancer by promoting early detection and prevention, funding groundbreaking research, and giving patients support wherever and whenever they need it.<\/p>\n

On Dr. Khan’s pledge page, he says: <\/p>\n

“About one in eight of our grandmothers, mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, nieces and girlfriends will get breast cancer. And we are powerful to make a difference.<\/p>\n

“I know that by raising funds and awareness through Real Men Wear Pink, we can help create a world free from the pain and suffering of breast cancer.<\/p>\n

“Every day, ACS helps people take steps to reduce their risk of breast cancer or find it early, when it’s small and easiest to treat. They provide free information and services when and where people need it. They are funding groundbreaking research to find, prevent, and treat breast cancer, and are working to ensure access to mammograms for women who need them.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Khan’s personal goal is to raise $2,500 to help fund groundbreaking research and increase awareness that all women between 50-74 years old should get screening mammograms every other year. <\/p>\n

Help Dr. Khan make strides against breast cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
