What am I doing?

This is my first 5K race, and I'm thrilled that it's going to be for such a fantastic cause. My intention is to run the whole race (No walk/run! Not that there's anything wrong with that).

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.

I'm running in honor of my friend Julie's Aunt Ruth, who was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer, and her Mom Judy, who is a Breast Cancer survivor.

You may donate online by clicking the "Support" button on this page.  Your support helps us get one more step closer to a world without breast cancer.

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.
