Join the Colorado Destination ImagiNation  Race for the Cure Team!

The Susan B. Komen Walk for the Cure is October 4 in Denver.  We, as members of the Colorado Destination ImagiNation community, are all too aware that breast cancer strikes too often.  It has affected many members of our DI family.  I just celebrated my one year anniversary as a cancer survivor.  I know more than I ever wanted to know about this disease, its treatment and ultimately its cure.  What really stands out to me is how far research has come and what it makes possible in terms of diagnosis and treatment plans.  I have been lucky.  I was diagnosed early.  I had access to tests that allowed my team of doctors to accurately determined the scope and aggressiveness of my cancer and then determine MY treatment plan.  My surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and long term medication have all been tailored to give me what I need and nothing more.  I feel much more confident and hopeful knowing that I haven’t received a one size fits all approach.  Research up to this point has made that tailored approach and early detection possible.  But we have a long way to go.  This race is about continuing research and providing access to treatment for everyone.  That’s why we formed our team, Destination ImagiNation: ImagiN the Cure!  We are hoping for support from DIers from all over.  There are two ways you can join: become part of the team or make a donation.  Keep reading for details.
