Passionately Pink for Aunt Jan

Julia Williams tells us why she is participating in Race for the Cure:

“This will be my 11th Race for the Cure!” says Julia Williams. I have a lot of passion for this cause in honor and celebration of my Aunt Jan.  I create a team each year and commit to finding  at least 10 people to join,  I  get friends and family to help me reach my goal. I would love to find a couple Survivors to join my team (my treat!).  Even before I knew about the promise between two sisters, I made a promise to my Aunt Jan that I would get my first mammogram early.  She was told she didn't need a mammogram, even though she had a family history.  At age 35 when she was diagnosed, she was told that the tumor had been growing no less than 7 years.  She fought a courageous 7-year battle and we lost her on November 11, 2002. That is why I am so very passionate about finding the cure, raising awareness, and empowering women to be their own best advocate when it comes to their breast health. My Aunt was like a mother and sister; she had a very positive impact on my life.  Early detection saves lives.  I race for Aunt Jan. Team Passionately Pink for Aunt Jan.
