Portland Mayor Vera Katz leads the crowd during AlDSWalkO3 Continued from Page 7 “Over the past couple of years, tough eco nomic times have put health care out of reach for many,” race chairwoman Robin Hawley said. “Now that our local economy is improving, we’re calling out to everyone to help make a difference this year by participating.... Each year, more than 450 women and men in Oregon die from breast cancer. Saving lives star’s with education al outreach and early detection programs made possible by local dollars raised through the race.” Since the race started 12 years ago, millions of dollars have been raised to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease. Up to 75 percent of the net proceeds stay in Oregon and Southwest Washington to fund education, screening and treatment, while the remainder is dedicated to national breast cancer research. “Everybody counts in the kcal fight against breast cancer,” Hawley said. “Outreach programs promise to reach thousands of women and men.... Individual contributions—regardless of their size— can really make a big difference in saving lives. For every $1,000 raised, approximately eight mammo grams are provided in the Portland area alone.” To register call 503-553-3680 or visit www.komenoregon.org.
