Support the Fight Against Breast Cancer!

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was founded on a promise made between two sisters – Susan Goodman Komen and Nancy Goodman Brinker. Suzy was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1978, a time when little was known about the disease and it was rarely discussed in public. Before she died at the age of 36, Suzy asked her sister to do everything possible to bring an end to breast cancer. Nancy kept her promise by establishing the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in 1982 in Suzy’s memory.

Breast cancer is a type of cancer where cells in the breast tissue divide and grow without the normal control. About 80 percent of breast cancers originate in the mammary ducts, while about 20 percent arise in the lobules. Cancerous tumors in the breast usually grow very slowly so that by the time one is large enough to be felt as a lump, it may have been growing for as long as ten years.

Nowadays, there are many ways in supporting the fight against breast cancer, and you can start showing your support with one of these events:

• The Komen Race for the Cure
• Breast Cancer 3-Day
• Lee National Denim Day
• This one is the least you can do, buy specially packaged 8-ounce bags of pink and white M&M’S® Chocolate Candies!!!
• Or buy a lipstick palette from Clinique.
