Michael and Tanya founded the BRCA Research & Cure Alliance in 2022. With BRCA related cancers prevalent in their families, they felt compelled to create a not-forprofit organization that could strategically deploy resources to make the greatest impact to advance the prevention, treatment, and perhaps a CURE for BRCA related cancers.
