This year, my brother is making a big impact on the fight to end breast cancer by participating in the Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure®.
Tens of thousands of people will gather on the National Mall on June 5 to take a stand and prove that individuals have the power to change the world.
Without the cures, an estimated 25 million women around the world will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 10 million could die over the next 25 years.
You can give online at GlobalRacefortheCure.org.
Up to 75 percent of the money raised by the Komen Global Race stays in the D.C. area to fund screening, treatment and education programs through the National Capital Area Grant Program. The remaining funds support the Global Promise Fund, reaching under-served people in areas where breast cancer mortality rates are the highest.
