Anthem Live sounds like a great night with a great game and a great concert. However, tennis greats James Black and Andy Roddick, along with Grammy Award Winner John Mayer will be playing for a cause. Proceeds from the ticket sales will go towards cancer research.

One program benefitting from the funds changed the life of Dail Hinton. Hinton reflects on the day she was diagnosed, "She said I am sorry to inform you, you have breast cancer." Hinton says tears rolled down her face as she learned of the fierce battle ahead. "You think about, 'Am I going to survive this.Will I get through this?' then the financial part sets in."

Dail didn't have insurance but at that point, she was already part of a program that would take her from paperwork to recovery whether she had insurance or not. "EVMS does not make anybody feel different. We were all treated the same. We were all one patient."

The Breast Care Clinic is a partnership with the Tidewater Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and the Department of Surgery at EVMS. Doctor Rebecca Britt says the conception of the clinic was sparked by statistics. "In Norfolk, we found there was a poor response, there were worse cases of breast cancer."

In fact, the National Center for Helath Statistics shows an "unfavorable" death rate from breast cancer in Norfolk compared to the national average. The numbers are especially grim among African American women and those living below the poverty line. But EVMS is curbing the trend.

Doctor Britt credits awareness and early detection. Women knowing the program is there will be the key to seeing more strides in Hampton Roads. as long as the funding keeps reaching the program.

And with funding, Dail's journey becomes the new statistic. "I was in the third stage of breast cancer," she explains. " EVMS was able to save me, life is living and I am still here."
