CANCER touches so many we know and love. Would you join me to support breast cancer research, advocacy and education?  

During the weekend of February 19-21, 2027, I’ll be walking in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day in TAMPA, Florida. It’s 60 miles, over 3 days, with hundreds of others.  It will likely be hard, but it’s not as hard as breast cancer. It’s not as hard as chemo. It’s not as hard as saying goodbye. And that’s why I'm doing this. That’s why I’m walking and why I’m raising money – to end breast cancer forever.

I’m walking for my sister, Elaine; my sisters-in-law, Amalia and Lisa; my niece, Jessica; my cousins, Becky, Hylah, (in memory of Robin) ; Jen, daughter of my friend Ellen; clients Susan and Jennifer. I am walking in honor of Aunt Becky, and Aunt Lois, and our Forever Team Captain, Gwynne, and her surviving twin sister Stephanie. The list goes on!

In the coming year my goal is to raise over $3,000.00.

Your opportunity has two parts:
+ Pray for those in the fight, encouragement for their family and friends, and strength for those in recovery.
+ Contribute—any size will help. It’s easy, online with the link below. 

Thanks in advance.

About Susan G. Komen (more information available online)

Forty-three years ago, a sisterly promise ignited a spark that would fuel a global crusade against breast cancer. Today that promise continues to prevail as the driving force behind Susan G. Komen’s unwavering quest for a future free from the grip of this deadly disease.  

In the pursuit of our goals, we’ve helped fuel research, unlocking the biology of breast cancer and discovering insights that propel us toward more effective risk reduction strategies, earlier detection methods and innovative treatments. This helped reduce breast cancer mortality by more than 42%.  

To date, we’ve invested nearly $3.6 billion in groundbreaking research, community health outreach, advocacy and programs in more than 60 countries. Due to investments in research, 19 new drugs for breast cancer were approved in the past decade, and Komen is proud to have been a catalyst for these discoveries.

We stand firm in our promise to never give up on our vision of creating a world without breast cancer.

How we’re helping
Susan G. Komen is the ONLY organization that addresses breast cancer on multiple fronts such as research, community health, global outreach and public policy initiatives in order to make the biggest impact against this disease.
