If everyone was passionate about volunteering and raising money for a great cause, the world would be a much better place. One organization I love raising money for is Susan G. Komen. I’ve led a few Passionately Pink for the Cure events and I walked in the Susan G. Komen Global Race For The Cure last year on the National Mall in DC.
Breast cancer isn’t a preventable disease; it is a disease that can affect any one of us. We could be diagnosed with breast cancer or a family member or friend could be diagnosed. Since this is a disease that can impact any one of us, we should all do our part to save the boobies!!
As mentioned earlier, I love raising money for a great cause! So I’m asking all of you reading this blog to please do your part in the fight against breast cancer. I formed a team, The Rules of Behavior, that will be racing in this year’s Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure in Washington, DC. The team is running to raise $500 for the cause. I know with your help we can surpass our goal!!!
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 Susan G. Komen for the Cure Global Promise Fund, a program which is dedicated to reaching underserved people in areas where breast cancer mortality rates are the highest®.
Every dollar makes a difference:
$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
If you would like to make a donation on behalf of the team, please click here.

Let’s all do our part to fight breast cancer!!!
