Calabasas, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/23/2016 -- Breast cancer is a serious health concern that affects millions of people in the United States. According to several studies, about 12% of women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in their lifetimes. As a healthcare executive with many years of experience working with physician practices in Southern California, Michael Roub knows the impact this condition can have on families. Breast cancer hit especially close to home for him when his wife Lisa was diagnosed with the disease. That life-changing experience spurred him to act. "My wife's illness and the breast cancer rates of women in the U.S. rocked my world," says Michael. "I knew I had to help others fight against this terrible disease."

Immediately after his wife's diagnosis, Michael began to volunteer for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, an advocacy group of the American Cancer Society. He was instrumental in helping the organization boost donation funding; by leveraging his business skills and experience in finance, Michael spearheaded campaigns to raise money for the organization's Southern California chapter. His work raised awareness of the condition and helped the organization provide valuable resources to cancer patients and breast cancer survivors alike. After surgery and chemotherapy, Michael's wife Lisa regained her health and joined him in the fight to beat the disease. Some of the volunteer work Michael and his wife provided included events to honor fellow breast cancer survivors, and the money he was instrumental in raising went to cutting-edge breast cancer research conducted by the American Cancer Society.
