2009 Welcome Message from Djuna

The Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure® is right around the corner.

More than 50,000 people will all gather on the National Mall on June 6 to take a stand in the global movement to end breast cancer. Each year, up to 75 percent of the Komen Global Race's net income stays in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area to fund local screening, treatment and education programs for the medically underserved. The remaining dollars support the Global Promise Fund, a program of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which is dedicated to reaching underserved people in areas where breast cancer mortality rates are the highest.


I'm hoping that my team can raise $3,000. We were able to raise $2,220.00 last year. So I need your help. You can give online, just follow the link below to join our team or visit my personal fundraising web page and make a donation.

My breast cancer journey began in 2007. It started with 5 mammogram's, 3 biopsies, 2 surgeries, 2 sonograms, 1 MRI, 1 CAT Scan and 7 weeks of radiation. I survived! I am surviving. Thank you for celebrating with me.


Without a cure, an estimated 25 million women around the world will be diagnosed with breast cancer - and 10 million could die over the next 25 years. That's I've joined the fight. I hope that you'll support me by visiting my personal page to make a donation or join my team.


Thank you in advance for your participation and generosity!


Love,
Djuna


PS: Ask your employer if they will double your donation through a matching gift program.
