http://tamikaandfriends.org/january News Channel 8/TBD Anchor Melanie Hastings interviews Tamika Felder about National Cervical Cancer Awareness Month (January). The organization Tamika & Friends, Inc. was founded by cervical cancer survivor and advocate Tamika Felder who was diagnosed at age 25 and had to undergo a hysterectomy, chemo and radiation. She founded the organization Tamika & Friends, Inc. to raise awareness of the disease, educate women on how it is preventable and the links between cervical cancer and HPV. When Tamika was diagnosed there was no HPV test or vaccine.
In 2010, the American Cancer Society projected that more than 12,000 women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer and nearly 4,000 will die.
Cervical cancer is caused by “high-risk” types of the human papillomavirus (HPV). According to the Centers for Disease Control at least 50 percent of sexually active women will have HPV at some point in their lives.
One of the major issues with this disease is lack of education on its causes and how it can be prevented. Early detection through pap tests and HPV testing are key. Tamika can address all of these issues as well as share her personal story with cervical cancer. The organization sponsors cervical cancer walks in New York, Washington, D.C. and Summerville, South Carolina annually. Tamika travels the country speaking on this issue and is also a survivor spokesperson for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Tamika is a Washington, D.C. based television host.

May 8, 2010 The Susan G. Komen RACE FOR THE CURE in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. Over 18 Thousand People came out to support the cause! Participants enjoyed a 1 mile run/walk or a 5 K. This was an incredible event that gave inspiration for those fighting the terrible disease of Breast Cancer, and also gives hope for a much brighter future for our children. The best part of the day was meeting so many cool people, and sharing the collective energy created when people unite in Doing Good.
I participated in this race with my daughter and two friends in honor of my mother Linda, a 2-year Breast Cancer Survivor. We also remembered family survivors Cheryl, and Kris, and ran in remembrance of Debby’s sweet sister Cindy, who lost her valiant fight to Cancer too young.
I created this video as a gift to share our experience with Mom, who could not attend. However, we don’t think she’ll mind sharing with everyone else to enjoy as well! All photos and video clips included were taken with my personal camera and are copyrighted to me [apologies for the low quality video feed]. THANK YOU to all of the beautiful people who came out to support the race, and allowed me to take their photos. I hope you will get to see this, and enjoy! I hope to see ALL of these amazing people again, NEXT YEAR! 
Another BIG THANK YOU to all of the organizers, sponsors and City works personnel, police & fire departments, and hundreds of volunteers who worked behind the scenes to make this day not only possible, but AMAZING! You are TRUE HEROES!
Wishing all Women everywhere a Happy Mothers Day!
I love you Mom!
