For nearly 40 years, Susan G Komen has been the leader in helping people with breast cancer get the care that they need and the funding for research to help find cures for breast cancer. Almost every discovery and new treatment has happened partly because of Susan G. Komen. They are working daily to save lives, but they can’t do it alone. It takes the support of people like you and me to make it happen. Everyone is touched by breast cancer, like my mom, who was diagnosed two years ago. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer, it was scary for my Mom and everyone around her. Her breast cancer diagnosis and treatment didn't just affect her, but it also affected our family and friends. Breast cancer from a child’s perspective is very emotional and seemed even more heightened for me and my two younger sisters. However, through this experience, you learn about strengths you didn't know you had and how to deal with fears you didn't know existed. Now more than ever, if you can help, please donate to Susan G Komen, so we can continue to save lives, like my mom. Together, we can create a world without breast cancer.
