What am I doing? I'm participating in the 20th Anniversary Komen Atlanta Race for the Cure because I want to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. Komen Atlanta works every day to enable women and men in the Atlanta community to detect and survive breast cancer and I want to be a part of the breast cancer movement. Please support me and Komen Atlanta by making a tax-deductible donation today. Join me in the race to end breast cancer forever. Be part of the CURE.

Your breast health... The greatest risk factors for breast cancer are being female and growing older. Breast cancer knows no boundary, be it age, gender, socio-economic 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.
What does Komen do? For more than 25 years, Komen for the Cure has played a critical role in every major advance in the fight against breast cancer – transforming how the world talks about and treats this disease, and helping to turn millions of breast cancer patients into breast cancer survivors. Over the next 25 years, an estimated 25 million women around the world will be diagnosed with breast cancer if we don't find a cure. Komen will not stop until we discover and deliver the cures. That’s our promise.
