Bill wanted us to give a shout-out to his lovely cousin Carole Young.
Carole’s participating in a program sponsored by the Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer research, where she will be walking 20 miles for three days (60 miles total) in hopes of raising more than $2,000 to fight to end breast cancer forever.
On Carole’s 49th birthday, she was diagnosed with breast cancer by the same doctor who had found her mother’s cancer the same month. After an eleven and a half hour surgery, treatment could begin. Carole and her Mom would go hand and hand to each of their chemotherapy treatments and doctor’s appointments. They had the same doctors, surgeons, oncologists and supported each other every step of the way.
Not only is Carole a survivor with a truly inspiring story, but she lost her mother to breast cancer in 2002, and she has a sister-in-law who is also a survivor. No doubt you know someone who has been affected by breast cancer. Please click here to learn more about the Breast Cancer 3-Day, and consider making a donation to help Carole, and promote breast cancer research and awareness.
Thanks,
Ben Barasky
Deputy Press Secretary

Go Carole! I was volunteering in the office the day you came by. You're an inspiration.
