What makes you feel connected to Susan G. Komen and our mission to end breast cancer?
As a woman, mom, sister, daughter, wife and friend, I am passionate about the mission to end breast cancer because I believe in Komen's unwavering dedication to raising awareness, funding critical research, and providing vital support to those affected by this devastating disease. The disease is a leading cause of death among women and needs support from organizations such as Susan G. Komen to increase breast cancer awareness, advancements in early detection, and treatment options.
I’m doing this because 1 in 8 women in the US will hear in their lifetime they have breast cancer. These women are our mothers, mother in laws, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, nieces, cousins, daughters, dear friends, coworkers, or maybe ourselves. That is too many for me and this is one way I can help – and WE can help!
