According to www.breastcancer.org, every three minutes a woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer, and approximately 41,000 of those women will die from the disease. In attempts to reduce the number of lives that are claimed each year from breast cancer, members from the Atlanta chapter of the National Philanthropic Trust project - which benefits the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization - hosted a breast cancer expo. Women from across the Atlanta metro area came out to support the cause by pledging their participation this fall in the three-day walk to help fund breast cancer research and find a cure.
Participants were given tips about training properly for the walk, packing the necessary supplies, and they even enjoyed a little relaxation - all for a worthy cause. -jamana jamison
