My biological mother was stricken with breast cancer at an early age, she was approximately 44 years old. She was the first woman in our family to get it. I have walked in the Susan G. Komen Race for the cure every year for the past few years in honor of her victory over breast cancer. I am happy to say that my screening mammogram a few years ago and my recent annual mammogram have both come out negative for breast cancer.
That's why I have decided to create this page, to honor her and to educate other women out there about breast cancer.
The National Breast Cancer Foundation mission is to save lives by increasing awareness of breast cancer through education and by providing mammograms for those in need.
This Foundation seeks public support to fund the follow-up clinical trials of a promising breast cancer blood test which had its first trials over seven years ago.
I would like to take this moment to ask that everyone who can afford to donate any amount of money to a worthy cause to please do so now. Komen Race for the Cure has been a very important charity for me because my biological mother is a breast cancer survivor. I've been lucky enough to never have it, but if I ever get it, I hope that there's a cure for it.
