It was January of 2007 and I was downtown having lunch with my Mom because I was attending my first CLE as a new lawyer. While we were at lunch my Mom recieved a phone call; her doctor confirmed that the lump was, in fact, breast cancer. Flash forward to August 2007 -- past months of surgeries, chemo treatments, shots, shaving her head, wigs, and radiation treatments. By August, my Mom was done with treatment and was feeling well enough to watch me finish my first Breast Cancer 3Day Walk. It's now 2010 and my sister and I are starting on our 4th 3Day Walk. We raise money for Susan G Komen for the Cure and breast cancer research by producing a Breast Cancer Calendar for sale. An Implied Nudity breast cancer calendar. Every year our Mom has proudly posed, semi-nude, scar and all, baring her all for breast cancer. This August, we know our Mom will be at her fourth 3Day Walk Closing Ceremony to support us, herself, other breast cancer survivors, and all those who battle this disease. This story is for our Mom. This story is for all breast cancer survivors and for all those who have been touched by breast cancer.
