Aired September 29, 2024: Susan G. Komen®, the world’s leading breast cancer organization, is hosting their MORE THAN PINK Walk, Saturday, October 5 at Exposition Park. It'll be all about bringing together survivors, supporters and advocates to raise critical funds to advance Komen’s mission and provide support for people facing this disease now.
In 2024 alone, an estimated 32,660 women in California will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 4,570 will lose their lives to the disease. Funds raised at the walk will allow Komen to meet the immediate needs of breast cancer patients through its free Breast Care Helpline and offer services such as patient navigation, financial assistance and emotional support. It will also fund research breakthroughs that allow more lives to be saved from breast cancer and bring us closer to the cures for all breast cancers.
In this podcast, Lisa Foxx talks to 2-time breast cancer survivor Annette Crump about her experience from diagnosis to being cancer free. She also discusses why its so important for women to do home exams in addition to annual mammograms starting at age 40.
