October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I will be walking on October 6th to support the Susan G. Komen Foundation.  The Komen Foundation is a leading non-profit with the mission to save lives by meeting the most critical needs in our communities and investing in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast cancer.  Breast cancer will impact 1 out of 8 women during their lifetime and almost all of us have had a friend or family member affected by this disease.  Exciting advances in oncology and patient care continue to improve survival rates but for more advanced breast cancers there still is no cure.  Our joint effort in supporting organizations like the Komen Foundation can help fund the needed research to change that.  I would be extremely grateful for any contribution you can make to this worthy cause.  Please visit my page below to donate or start your own campaign.  If your organization has a matching gifts program please consider using it for the Komen Foundation.
