Recently, a good friend, Jaime Parker, told me she'd be doing the Susan G. Komen 3-Day, a 60-mile fundrasing walk to raise awareness/raise funds for breast cancer research. (You can read more about the walk: here). She was looking for support in gathering funds for this daunting challenge, and asked if I could help out.
Like a lot of people, I have personal experience with breast cancer; my grandmother battled it for most of her life. It's a life-changing diagnosis, and the current treatments (mastectomy, radiation, chemotherapy, etc.) can be devastating, and often only temporarily effective. We are definitely in need of better treatments that will improve patients' quality of life and keep them healthy long-term, and the Susan G. Komen Foundation is doing important research toward that end.

With lurve,
Dara
