Breast Cancer 3-day walk

Amy’s 3-day walk commercial
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.

This video is a bit longer than I would have liked, but I think it’s all important enough!
Amy and I want to start a book club! We’ll start on June 7th with His Dark Materials, Book 1: The Golden Compass. We’ll talk about more details (i.e. length of time given per book) just before we get started.

May 7, 2011 The Susan G. Komen “RACE FOR THE CURE” in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. Over 15 Thousand People came out to support the cause! Participants enjoyed a 1 mile or 5K [3 mile] run/walk. This was an incredible event that gave inspiration to those fighting the terrible disease of Breast Cancer, and also hope for a much brighter future for all of our children and future generations. The best part of the day was meeting so many cool people, and sharing the collective energy created when we unite in Doing Good.

Women’s cancer survivor Jennie McGihon talks about what motivates her as a cancer survivor to walk in this year’s Walk for Hope – Washington, D.C., to help raise funds for cancer research at City of Hope.
For hundreds of thousands who face women’s cancers each year, hope is a precious thing. These mothers, daughters, sisters and wives count on places like City of Hope, where award-winning care offers the chance to overcome disease and innovative research cultivates new, better therapies on the path to cures.
Walk for Hope is a series of eight national walks and a virtual walk to raise necessary funds to continue groundbreaking research at City of Hope and to raise awareness of womens cancers. Without funds, research is impossible. And without research, the cure to cancer is a far away dream.
Please join us today in the fight by registering to participate, donating or supporting the cause. Visit http://www.walk4hope.org to learn more.
