Galyna Pecherska, CPC-A, coder, Maureen Wong, financial management analyst, and her son, Sam, participated in the 7th Annual Susan G. Komen San Francisco Race for the Cure on Sunday, September 23, 2007, from 7:30 AM to 1:00 PM beginning near the Ferry Building in San Francisco. You can view pictures from their race taken by Maureen at http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0AaNG7ZqzbN2L74. Sponsored by the Stanford Cancer Center/Northern California Cancer Center, this 5K Run/Walk or one-mile Fun Walk raised funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer while celebrating breast cancer survivorship and honoring those who have lost their battle with the disease. The Susan G. Komen national organization provides enormous financial support for breast cancer research, novel clinical trials, and the training of future breast cancer specialists through a dedicated fellowship program at many cancer centers around the U.S., including Stanford. The national organization is closely linked with the San Francisco affiliate office, which provides support services for numerous organizations in the greater Bay Area region such as Meals on Wheels, free mammograms for low-income women, and the Community Breast Health Project in Palo Alto.
