Last Wednesday I had the pleasure of attending the Susan G Komen
luncheon. What a powerful event. Hattie Kauffman, CBS News
Correspondent, delivered the keynote address. Hattie is a Seattle
native, and a breast cancer survivor. As she told her story to the
crowd of Komen attendees, we were all moved to learn that this was the
first time she'd declared "I am Hattie Kauffman, and I am a breast cancer survivor" publicly. She was diagnosed in 2001.
Today I am even more passionate about finding a cure for this disease. No woman should have to deal with the emotional and physical tolls a diagnosis brings. And certainly no woman should die from cancer in her boobs - one of the very things that makes women, women.
Today I am even more clear that choosing to take on raising money for breast cancer research as part of the fabric of our company was 100% the right decision.
Today I am grateful for all the women who have touched my life who are survivors. It's a club that I am glad exists.
