I found this article online... For the London Free Press, published on November 17, 2007. It is about a Canadian campaign in Ontario called: Team Shan and supports young women between the ages of 16-29 and breast cancer/ aweness issues...
The link to the article I found is:

Excerpted from the article:
"Young women are a gap in breast cancer understanding and are quite vulnerable to the disease, she said. In Ontario this year alone, 400 women between the ages of 15 and 39 will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 40 of them will die, she said."
"The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation provided $100,000 for the multi-media project. The campaign, begun last month, wraps up the end of December."

Here is the link to the Team Shan website:
http://www.teamshan.ca/
There are pages for:
facts
risk factors
symptoms
self help
information
links
as well as a few others...
There is good information, though keep in mind that Team Shan is Canadian based, and pages such as links may not be as useful to young women in the United States.
