Dear All,

I have been part of the Komen Global Race for the Cure since its first edition in 2009. Last year, I had the fortune to share it with my children.

I race for my daughters, mother and sister, nieces and sisters in-law, my female colleagues and friends, and for all women who have made an impact in my life and who are part of my friends' and family members' lives.

I particularly race for all women in the Americas, from Canada and the US to Chile and Argentina. I race for those women in the Americas who have made a difference, but mostly for those most vulnerable and those who serve our communities anonymously, caring for our elders and children, organizing our most vulnerable communities, making crucial decisions that save lives every time a disaster or an emergency of any kind strikes.

Join me then in the global movement to end breast cancer forever! When you support me with a donation to the Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure®, you will have a direct and meaningful impact on the lives of women everywhere.
Or just join me at the race!

Up to 75 percent of the Komen Global Race's net income stays in the Washington, D.C. area to fund breast cancer screening, treatment and education programs through the National Capital Area Grant Program. The remaining 25 percent supports the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Global Promise Fund, a program dedicated to sharing knowledge and experience, and to funding education and breast health services in regions where few exist.
 

Every dollar makes an impact. Here's how:
--$100 could be used to provide one mammogram
--$250 could be used to cover five clinical breast exams
--$500 could be used to provide five diagnostic ultrasounds
--$1000 could be used to provide 10 mammograms

You can make an impact. You can make a difference. Just click on the "Donate to Me!" button to the left.
