About Me

MISSION STATEMENT:Babes for Breasts is a collective of female singer/songwriters taking on the human side of breast cancer one song at a time. Volunteering their voices and skills to raise awareness and funds, every cent is donated to charities helping women and men who are living with breast cancer from diagnosis to remission and beyond

BIO:
In 2003 Ana Miura decided it was time for her to start making a difference in her community. With nothing more than a desire to help, she set out to run a fundraiser that would bring together the musical community with the health community.
Striving to create a bridge between those female singer/songwriters and women who have had their lives affected by breast cancer, Miura wanted to remind the ladies (and herself) of the strength that lies in the bond of sisterhood that all women share.
'Strength in numbers' is what she thought and asked 4 other female singer/songwriters to join her in the first BABES FOR BREASTS benefit. With the premise of "5 Babes for 5 Bucks" she figured she could pack the club, and that's exactly what happened. Music filled the night and over $500 was raised from ticket sales alone for Breast Cancer Action Ottawa.
As a few years passed filled with many music adventures, scholastic mountains to climb and her growing son, BFB took a little break until early 2006. With the news that her friend's mother had passed away from breast cancer, BFB weighed heavy on her mind. She knew that it was time to have another Babes for Breasts.
In a brainstorming session with another Ottawa area singer/songwriter and friend Amanda Rheaume, they came upon the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation and a wonderful partnership was born. Learning from the ORCF that still as many as 1 in 3 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, Miura asked what the community's needs were. The ORCF social workers informed her that there are more women suriviving breast cancer (and other cancers), but no support for them after their diagnosis of remission. The women needed a support group to help them regain their lives after regaining their health. Thus was born the "Well Women" support group.
After a year of ideas, planning and many hours at the computer, and with the help of some amazing sponsors, the Babes for Breasts Benefit Tour is going to five cities in six days, performing 6 shows! Miura has set her goal of $4,000 for the "Well Women"!
Now Miura's next goal is to take Babes for Breasts across the country!
