ABOUT Susan G. Komen for the Cure:
Susan Goodman Komen fought breast cancer with her sister Nancy Goodman Brinker at her side. Throughout her diagnosis, and treatments, she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about her own situation. Nancy G. Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer. Though Susan lost her battle with cancer, 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.
