October is "Breast Cancer Awareness Month."
I encourage you to....donate to an organization to find a cure for breast cancer...help people who cannot afford a mammogram...do a self-breast examination this month and here after...learn about the risks and some prevention methods (such daily exercise and a balanced diet).
The Race for the Cure 2010 was a HUGE success.
We had more than 10,000 people register and attend the event, which is a record for the 21st annual race. The Kids for the Cure, which I had the honor of being the chairwoman, was lots of fun with hundreds of kids participating in our 50-yard dashes and activities. I also had some wonderful gals volunteer - thank you Christina, Lexi, Kathy, Viet, Mani, and Chelsea.
The executive director of Komen Mid-Kansas and I had the honor of addressing thousands of concert goers at the "Pink Ribbon Concert" hosted by Channel 96.3. I even had a mother walk up to our information booth to thank us for what we do. She was crying as she told me that she lost her mother-in-law to breast cancer and that she didn't want her daughter to become a victim because she was a smoker.
