Breast cancer hit someone I know
I run for my very dear friend and veterinary school classmate, Cindy, a.k.a. “Peach,” who is now a 2-year survivor of a serious form of breast cancer. Yay!

Breast cancer happened to someone my age, and many women (and men) even younger – in their 20’s and 30’s – get breast cancer. Some die from it. Scary stuff. I run the Race for a Cure to promote awareness and earn funds to help put an end to this all-too-common-cancer.

The funds support cancer research and “real life” needs, such as mammograms for women who cannot afford them and transportation for women who can’t get to a care center. Learn more.

We formed a team for the Race for the Cure in Portland, Oregon. You can learn more about us (what the name stands for!) and see photos from last year’s race here: Team Femme Fus.

To help the cause, I am donating beads.
Your donation of $30 or more goes directly to Komen Oregon.  I donate my time, materials and shipping (US addresses) as a “thank you” for your contribution not just to our team, but to fight cancer.

Let’s see the beads!

Click on any photo to go to the BEADS page on our Femme Fus Race for the Cure site. I have a large selection to choose from – free with your donation of $30 or more to the Portland Komen Race for the Cure donation on the behalf of myself and our team.
