Participating in cancer walks can be a great way to fight cancer and support those who are dealing with the challenges of cancer. Cancer affects all of us, either directly or indirectly.

If you don’t believe cancer affects you, consider these statistics. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 1.4 million new cases of diagnosed cancer will occur this year alone. In 2004, there were approximately 10.8 million people who had a history of cancer. Last year the cost of cancer was estimated to be over $200 Billion dollars! Cancer does affect all of us.

Cancer walks don’t only raise funds for worthy charities that battle cancer every day. They also help create an awareness and can even be used to recruit volunteers and advocates for the cause.

The purpose of each cancer walk is different. The money raised may go to a nonprofit organization that deals with many forms of cancer or one specific form. Decide where your passion is and get involved in a cancer walk that aligns with your passion.

Some of the more popular cancer walks include:

  • Relay for Life (American Cancer Society)
  • Breast Cancer 3-Day (Susan G. Komen for the Cure)
  • Avon Walk for Breast Cancer (Avon Foundation)
  • Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (American Cancer Society)
  • Lung Cancer Walk (LUNGevity Foundation)

Search out a cancer walk in your area and get involved. You can play a part in wiping out the disease and supporting those who deal with cancer until it is only a memory.

12th Annual Susan G. Komen St. Louis Race for the Cure – 2010

]]> On Saturday, June 12, 2010, more than 71,000 people gathered in downtown St. Louis for the 12th Annual Susan G. Komen St. Louis Race for the Cure. It was a day of celebration, inspiration and, ultimately, hope. It was also a record-setting day. More than $3.4 million was raised in the fight to end breast cancer forever. 75% of the money raised stays right here in the St. Louis area to fund screening, treatment, education and research programs. The remaining 25% goes to the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure Award and Research Program. Learn all about the Komen St. Louis Race for the Cure and work being done right here in our 17-county service area with this amazing video produced and edited by Technisonic.

One True Step: A Journey Through Breast Cancer

]]> This is a story of women who have been through breast cancer. But the message is true of any huge life challenge. When the path isn’t easy or clear, even the smallest step makes a difference. And even when we are alone, we are surrounded by more love than we can imagine.

The lyrics and music of One True Step were written by Lucy Mathews Heegaard, after witnessing many friends go through breast cancer. The song can be found at iTunes or www.luckygoose.net. For more of Lucy’s work, visit www.studio-lu.net.

If you’d like to contribute to efforts to support people who are going through breast cancer, to research and find a cure, or to educate and inform about the disease, there are a number of great organizations doing amazing work. Three that I think very highly of are: The African-American Breast Cancer Alliance [http://aabcainc.org], Breast Cancer Action [http://www.bcaction.org], and the Susan G. Komen Foundation
[http://ww5.komen.org].

Enormous thanks to the women who sent personal photos and journal entries from their experience of breast cancer to illustrate the story. By order or appearance, they are: Susan, Paula, Mildred, Paddy, Lyn, Elizabeth, Mardie, Carol, Lynne, Margie, Kris, Yana, Pam, the board of the African-American Breast Cancer Alliance, Susan, Judy, Grace, Linda, Deborah, Suzanne, Carol, Ronnie, Nancy and Hazel.
