Take Action: Join the Chorus #Komen 365

Advocate, by definition, is a person who argues for or supports a cause or policy.  More specific, it is a person who works for a cause or group; a person who argues for the cause of another person.  As a volunteer with Susan B. Komen, I have met many wonderful “advocates” who work tirelessly to bring awareness to breast cancer, to fund research into the cause and treatment of breast cancer, impact policy in the pursuit of a better quality of life for breast cancer survivors and to bring about life without breast cancer.  A group of wonderful people who argue for and support a cause.

But just as Susan B. Komen started as a promise between sisters, Komen volunteers are often "more specific" and take up the cause of another person.  A mother, a sister, a brother, an aunt, a friend, a co-worker, the list goes on.

This October, there are many ways you can add your voice to the chorus #Komen 365.

§         Encourage a friend to get a mammogram, go with them, have a mammogram party to get the whole group screened

§         Start today planning your participation in next year’s Race, join a committee, become a team captain, get your company involved

§         Check with your Kansas affiliate on how you can join state and federal advocacy to impact policy

§         Look into clinical trials and research studies.  Maybe you will find one to participate in. http://www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials/search

§         Add your ideas of how you already add your voice or plan to add your voice to the chorus #Komen 365
