Greetings to all orange county locals, jungle fitness clients, and to those who follow my fitness and health awareness blog. Here is a picture of me ATV-ing in on the Kahua Ranch in Oahu, Hawaii where they filmed the movie, Jurassic Park and filmed the television show, Lost.
Though to many people today was just an ordinary Sunday of church and football, today in Newport Beach, California near Fashion Island over 20,000 people ran, walk, or jogged in the hopes of “racing for a cure.” Susan G. Komen for the cure race took place where many people either donated their own admission or fund-raised money to be sponsored where 100% of the money raised is donated to the fight against breast cancer in the world!
Susan G. Komen fought breast cancer with her heart, body and soul. Throughout her diagnosis, treatments, and endless days in the hospital, she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about her own situation. That concern for others continued even as Susan neared the end of her fight. Moved by Susan’s compassion for others and committed to making a difference, Nancy G. Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever.
That promise is now Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the global leader of the breast cancer movement, having invested more than $1 billion since inception in 1982. As the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, we’re working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure®, and generous contributions from our partners, sponsors and fellow supporters, we have become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
