Montgomery Advertiser Video

This video was created by the Montgomery Advertiser in conclusion to one of their writers running 5 Komen Runs this fall. Four other women and myself were featured in it. The writer and runner, Kym, lost her mother at 17. Kym's mother was only 40. Her blog tells of her journey.

Thousands of women and men come together, each raising at least $2,300 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. Then they take their commitment to end breast cancer one step further and walk 60 miles over the course of three days.

Eighty-five percent of the net proceeds of this event go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Every advancement in breast cancer research, treatment, education and prevention in the last 25 years has been touched by a Komen for the Cure grant.

The remaining fifteen percent of net funds goes to the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund to provide a permanent endowment for ongoing support of breast cancer initiatives.
