Race for the Cure--Why My Friend Walks

Breast cancer has affected so many people’s lives. Hundreds of thousands of people have been diagnosed, so odds are you know someone who the disease has affected. I do, and I walk the Race for the Cure in celebration of her beating the disease. My co-worker walks in remembrance of not one, not two, not three, but four close family members who fought a brilliant battle with the disease but passed away. Bill is a jovial person, excited about the Race for the Cure. You’ll see that in the video. But when he talks about those he lost, it’s a moment I won’t forget. Please remember to do your self exams and get your mammograms. Once you’re clear, find a way to help the effort to find a cure.
