Kick-punching Cancer's Butt...part deux

Here's a photo journal of the Race for the Cure (all stats/info came from that site).
The greatest risk factors for breast cancer are being female and growing older.

Breast cancer knows no boundary, be it age, gender, socioeconomic status or geographic location.

One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. That’s one in eight within your company, school and organization!
The key to survival is early detection.
Three simple steps for early detection are regular mammograms, clinical exams and breast self-exams. And, remember, breast cancer affects more than just the patient; friends and family need support too.


I am grateful to my late Grandpa Ray, and my precious Grandma Diane, for giving me the courage to join the Komen Race. In your triumphant rise above breast cancer, you have proven the stamina of the human spirit.

I'm already thinking about next year's race and how much money we can raise! Thank you to everyone who donated; our team raised almost $600. Wow!
