Please support me as I walk in honor of my mom!!!
Komen Greater NYC Race for the Cure
Thank you for visiting my personal webpage. As many of you know, my mom was diagnosed early last year and had a challenging year of surgeries, doctos visits and treatments. She managed the year with a positive attitude and a really good spirit. We are thrilled to say my mom is doing great.
This year, I will walk with my dance team, TEAM LARKIN, in honor of my mom. Please support my
participation in the Komen Greater NYC Race for the Cure and donate
today!
On Sunday, September 9, 2012 the Greater New York City Affiliate of
Susan G. Komen for the Cure will be holding its 22st annual 5K run/walk
— the Komen Greater NYC Race for the Cure — its premier
fundraiser.
On that day well over 21,000 New Yorkers, including more than 1,600
breast cancer survivors, will come together to run breast cancer out of
town.
Why is this important? One in eight women in the United States will be
diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. In 2010, it was estimated
that 207,000 women and nearly 2,000 men were diagnosed with invasive
breast cancer. An estimated 40,000 women and 400 men died from the
disease.
Last year, the Komen Greater NYC Race for the Cure raised over $6.0
million, which allowed us to fund a $4.4 million in grants to local
breast health education, screening and treatment programs and national
research to find the cures. All donations are tax deductible.
With your help, this year's Race will be even more successful, and
Komen Greater NYC will be able to award more grants in 2013.
I need your support! Please give as generously as you can see every
dollar counts and no donation is too small. Together, we can create a
world without breast cancer.
