Susan G. Komen fought breast cancer with her heart, body and soul. Throughout her diagnosis, treatments, and endless days in the hospital, she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about her own situation. Moved by Susan’s compassion for others and commitment to making a difference, Nancy G. Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer.

Though Susan lost her battle with the disease, her legacy lives on through the work of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the organization Nancy started in her honor. Komen for the Cure is the global leader of the breast cancer movement, having invested more than $1.9 billion since its inception in 1982. Across the country, that promise is upheld by a network of 121 local Affiliate offices. At the heart of each Affiliate is a person or group of people who, like Susan, wanted to make a difference. The North Central Alabama Affiliate was formed in 1994 by a group of concerned professionals and breast cancer survivors who were committed to saving and improving the lives of those affected by breast cancer. Locally, 75% of our net profits funds non-duplicative, community-based breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment projects for the medically underserved. The remaining 25% funds groundbreaking breast cancer research around the world.

The Komen North Central Alabama Affiliate’s service area includes the counties of Bibb, Blount, Calhoun, Chambers, Cherokee, Chilton, Clay, Cleburne, Colbert, Coosa, Cullman, DeKalb, Etowah, Fayette, Franklin, Greene, Hale, Jackson, Jefferson, Lamar, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Madison, Marion, Marshall, Morgan, Perry, Pickens, Randolph, Shelby, St. Clair, Sumter, Talladega, Tallapoosa, Tuscaloosa, Walker, and Winston. Thanks to the thousands of people who participant in the Susan G. Komen North Central Alabama Race for the Cure® and other Affiliate events each year, dedicated corporate partners and generous donors, Komen North Central Alabama is playing a vital role in fighting breast cancer in our community

    As a breast cancer survivor, I would have given a donation, but how embarrassing that Komen thinks it is more important to prove you are anti-abortion than it is to save women's lives. Rethink that one.
