Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure!

Written by Greg on May 4, 2008 – 10:13 am -

Happy Sunday, I hope this message finds you well.

For the fourth year, Cindy and I will be participating in the Susan G Komen National Race for the Cure to raise money for Breast Cancer Research. We again are walking in honor of Ginny DiStephano, a dear family friend of the Smiths and in memory of Carol Wolfe a close friend of the Taylor family. Unfortunately, we lost a member of our extended family to what started as breast cancer, so our 5k walk around downtown DC will be dedicated to Nancy Ring.

The Koman organization started as a promise between two sisters. Suzy Komen was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 33 and said to her sister, as soon as I get better, let’s do something about this. Suzy lost her battle with breast cancer, but Nancy has kept her promise; 25 years later and over $2 billion invested in breast cancer research we all have made great strides, however there is much more work to be done.

Please support Cindy and I as we join tens of thousands of others on June 7 in the National Race for the Cure in downtown Washington, DC. My goal is to raise $1000 and every dollar counts. Please help me meet my goal, you can donate here:
