Susan G. Komen Foundation
In 1980, Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. Two years later, that promise became the Susan G. Komen® organization and the beginning of a global movement. For over 40 years, we've led the way funding groundbreaking research, community health initiatives and advocacy programs in local communities across the U.S. and in more than 30 countries. And with your help, we’ll continue pushing for progress to end breast cancer every day, until it’s a thing of the past. For information on breast cancer and breast health, please call: 1-877- GO KOMEN or visit http://komen.org/ Join us on social media: Facebook: www.facebook.com/SusanGKomen X: www.X.com/SusanGKomen Instagram: @SusanGKomen Pinterest: www.pinterest.com/SusanGKomen Blog: blog.komen.orgwww.komen.org

And I said, this is a perfect opportunity, you know, So many local people support our community, support our programs, and what can we do to give back to them? And so this is our second year with Monmouth Roseville, and I have a feeling it might kind of be our most successful one yet.
Courtney MilroyGUEST
Each year I was looking back at how much we've raised and we've donated to Susan G. Komen, and I think every year it's almost doubled or we've increased by raising at least 1,000 more.
Courtney MilroyGUEST

But travelers of the time record that every road was crowded with pioneers and their families, their wagons and cattle, and that they were seldom out of the sound of the snapping whip of the teamster urging forward his horses or the crack of the hunter's rifle as he brought down his evening meal.
speaker_5NARRATOR
During the latter half of 1787, says Komen, more than 900 boats floated down the Ohio, carrying 18,000 men, women, and children, and 12,000 horses, sheep, and cattle, and 650 wagons.

Budd MishkinHOST
It's always still amazing how a story can come along and all of a sudden it seems like it is the only story that people are talking about.
Budd MishkinHOST
Did you have any notion before the Susan G. Komen Planned Parenthood story really just blew up and became the topic that everyone was talking about? Did you have any notion beforehand that this was percolating?
Gloria SteinemGUEST
I didn't have any notion about the particular issue of that story, which was funding for Planned Parenthood.
Gloria SteinemGUEST
But I did understand that I was never going to walk an inch with the Susan Komen Foundation Walks, though I am a breast cancer survivor, because they disconnected cancer in general and breast cancer in particular from the environment.
