A couple weekends ago, we participated in the 2009 Komen Global Race for the Cure in DC. This is my 7th year participating (as a team captain) and along with me were Paul, Jake, Walt, Gretchen, and Allison along with members of my team from GDIT. (We left Joshua with Kathy at home :-)). Our team raised almost $6,000 for the fight against breast cancer.
Nearly 45,000 people gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on June 6th to take a stand in the global movement to end breast cancer forever. Each year, up to 75% 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 which is dedicated to reaching underserved people in areas where breast cancer mortality rates are the highest. This year's event raised $4.3 million.
