Wisconsin residents will have a chance to participate in the Breast Cancer 3-Day®
right in their own backyard in 2008.
Can you imagine a world without breast cancer? It's hard, given how pervasive the
disease is. But go ahead, let yourself envision that world. Because it's not a fantasy.
It's a reality within our grasp. Each step you take on the Breast Cancer 3-Day brings
us closer to ending the disease forever.
Eighty-five percent of the net proceeds of this event go to Susan G. Komen for the
Cure. Every advancement in breast cancer research, treatment, education and prevention
in the last 25 years has been touched by a Komen for the Cure grant.
The remaining fifteen percent of net funds goes to the National Philanthropic Trust
Breast Cancer Fund, which provides ongoing support to breast cancer initiatives,
so that strides made today can continue to propel us toward our goal.
Everyone has been touched in some way by breast cancer. And recoiled from the touch.
No family should lose a mother prematurely. Or a dear friend, sister, wife, daughter,
co-worker. No one of us, just diagnosed, should have to look at the mirror in the
morning and say: Will I survive? Everyone deserves a lifetime: We feel it deep in
our bones.
