Breasts!
Everyone notices them. What size are they? What shape are they?
Are they "factory originals"? Or surgically enhanced? But how often
do we think about the "maintenance" of our breasts? Breast healthcare
is critically important and even the most vigilant among us can still
get a breast cancer diagnosis, like my dear Noelle.
I think it's fitting that this year's run/walk is occurring in October,
Breast Cancer Awareness month and that we will be running/walking
across the Brooklyn Bridge. Breast cancer is one of the cancers
recognized as being caused by the toxins in the air after 9/11. Noelle
worked on SoHo, 5 blocks outside of the "exposure zone" so she
isn't qualifying for victims' compensation but it doesn't change what happened to her.
I am dedicated to Komen's mission of ending breast cancer forever,
and I need your help. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation
today in support of my fundraising efforts.
Funds raised help support breakthrough research and provide
assistance to those facing breast cancer who need our support.
Whether it’s emotional support through Komen’s financial assistance
program or navigation services to break down barriers to care,
Komen will be there for them.
Will you please join me in this fight by making a donation today?
