Susan G. Komen National Race for the Cure

May 07, 2007 20:23

Hey everyone,

My buddy Ryan is participating in the Susan G. Komen National Race for the Cure®.
If you would like to donate, please read more.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen National Race, we have invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.

A minimum of $1 million from the Komen National Race net proceeds remains in the metropolitan Washington, D.C., community - including Virginia and Maryland - to provide funding for breast health and breast cancer education, screening and treatment programs for the medically underserved. Washington, D.C., has the highest breast cancer mortality rate in the United States.

Did you know?

• Three basic screening methods are used to detect breast cancer: mammograms, clinical breast exams, and breast self-exams.

• Men are also at risk for developing breast cancer?

• Having no children, or a first child after age 30, are among some of the risk factors for breast cancer?

As part of the Race, I've created my own Personal Pledge Page where you can make a pledge of $25, $50, $100 or any amount. Simply follow the link below or you can visit www.nationalraceforthecure.org. Click “Registration” then “Pledge to a Participant” (left side) and search for my name.

Or click “Registration” and then “Register Now” (left side) and join me for the Race itself, taking place on Saturday, June 2, 2007.

Thanks for all your support!
