Susan G. Komen for the Cure

In 1982, Nancy Brinder took up the torch to fight breast cancer after losing her beloved sister, Susan, to the disease. She started the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation for fund breast health education, ensure quality, affordable care for all women, and promote research for a cure. In 25 years, the foundation has revolutionized the way the world looks at breast cancer, transforming it from an embarrassing, private ‘women’s disease’ into a highly visible crusade to understand, treat and cure this indiscriminate killer. Early detection and treatment are the keys to turning breast cancer patients into breast cancer survivors. Today, 75% of women over 40 receive regular mammograms, compared to less than 30% in 1982. Komen is committed to finish what they started, eradicating breast cancer from the face of the earth.
