5K Walk/Run & Family Food Festival to Benefit Breast Cancer Research
Sunday, May 22, 2011 in Pacific Palisades

The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation (DSLRF), a non-profit, 501 (c) 3 breast cancer organization, is proud to announce the Fourth Annual Love Walk/Run on May 22, 2011. For the first time, the event will add a running component to the 5K as well as a family food festival. The walk/run starts at Pacific Palisades Branch Library at 861 Alma Real Drive in Pacific Palisades, CA. Registration opens at 9 AM; Walk starts at 10 AM.

For more information and to register, visit dslrf.kintera.org/lovewalk2011.

“The LOVE Walk/Run raises money for innovative and groundbreaking breast cancer research that focuses on prevention and finding the cause with a goal to stop breast cancer before it even starts,” said Dr. Susan Love, president and medical director of the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation. “Here’s your chance to support a local breast cancer organization that has a national reach.”

The Fourth Annual Love Walk/Run is organized in partnership with the Pacific Palisades Junior Women’s Club and is sponsored in part by: City National Bank, Merrill Lynch, On Assignment, CareerBuilder, HUB International, Prudential Realty and Rose Greene Financial Services. This year’s media sponsors include K-EARTH 101 and KFWB NEWS TALK 980.

The 5K course takes participants through the beautiful Huntington neighborhood of the Pacific Palisades and is an opportunity to join local breast cancer survivors and other members of the community interested in eradicating this disease.

Over the past three years, the Love Walk has raised more than 0,000 for the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation. One hundred percent of these proceeds are used to fund research that is moving breast cancer beyond a cure.

After the walk/run, the community is invited to enjoy a family food festival with several local food trucks, including: Let’s Be Frank, Coolhaus Ice Cream, Del’s Lemonade and the Hungry Nomad Truck! Plus, various free activities for the kids.

Susan M. Love, MD, MBA, a resident of Pacific Palisades, is a clinical professor of surgery at UCLA and President of the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation (www.dslrf.org). A founder of the National Breast Cancer Coalition, she was appointed by President Clinton to the National Cancer Advisory Board. Her New York Times bestseller Dr. Susan Love’s Breast Book is now in its fifth edition and is still considered to “the bible for women with breast cancer.”

The mission of DSLRF is to eradicate breast cancer and improve the quality of women’s health through innovate research, education and advocacy. For more information visit www.dslrf.org.

Media Logic, a nationally recognized agency specializing in marketing for a social world, recently completed its Good Old Truck Facebook contest for client Cabelas to support the recreation retailers year-long Fifty Years Fifty Trucks sweepstakes. The contest, which received more than 1,000 entries and more than 80,000 votes, encouraged consumers to share a photo of their good old truck and win a $ 500 Cabelas gift card.

The winning entry, a pink 1952 Ford F-8 Big Job Fire Engine named Jennie Mae belonging to Jon Lovie, received more than 5,000 votes. Lovie uses the truck to raise awareness for cancer in Napa Valley, CA.

Lovie vows to put the $ 500 gift card up for auction and donate the proceeds to a cancer patient. [Jennie Mae] is named after my wife who was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years ago, said Lovie in his award entry. All of the work updating her for her new mission was donated by people and local businesses that have had someone special in their lives that fought cancer. She has thousands of signatures on her from cancer survivors and from loved ones leaving a special note for those who have lost their battle to this horrible disease.

Promotions like Good Old Truck provide a great way for our fans to interact with the Cabelas brand, said Fortna. Its about forming stronger relationships, and showing how we understand and identify with our core customer.

Christiana Care promotes breast health to Latinas through promotoras

Posted on January 16, 2012 by c3dpro

Check out these Stage Two Breast Cancer images:

Christiana Care promotes breast health to Latinas through promotoras
Stage Two Breast Cancer

Image by Christiana Care
Through Christiana Care, Latinas are learning about breast health and cancer screenings, essential information they can share with others as “promotoras”—promoters of health education—to Delaware’s rapidly growing Hispanic community.

“If you teach someone, then ask her to go talk to her family, her community, you raise awareness that cancer is not a death sentence,” says Nora Katurakes, RN, MSN, OCN, Christiana Care’s manager οf Community Health Outreach and Education.

Josefina Hernandez, 51, knows firsthand how important it is to get an annual mammogram. Her regularly scheduled screening detected Stage 1 breast cancer, an early form of the disease that is highly treatable.

“I would have never found out that I had cancer if I hadn’t had my mammogram,” she says. “Now, I tell my kids, my sisters, my family, so that they will know.”

At a recent workshops at the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center and Woodlawn Library, Hernandez and other promotoras-in-training learned facts about breast health and the effectiveness of early detection and treatment in saving lives.

“Culturally, Latinas don’t see a need to go the doctor’s unless we are sick,” says Sharon Gomez, outreach coordinator. “Through the promotoras, we are emphasizing screenings that can detect a problem before someone feels sick.”

Among Hispanic women, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). Hispanic women are 20 percent more likely to die from breast cancer than non-Hispanic white women diagnosed at the same age, often because the cancer is diagnosed at a later stage, according to ACS Cancer Facts. Within the past year, 41.7 percent of Hispanic women had a mammogram, compared to 53 percent of non-Hispanic white women.

Throughout the year, Christiana Care’s outreach staff works with Hispanics and people in other underserved communities to make health care more accessible.

“We frequently get calls from people who do not have insurance and others who do not have primary-care physicians, asking if they can get help,” says Joceline Valentin, a bilingual outreach coordinator at the Community Outreach and Education program at the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center. “We tell them ‘yes,’ and that we will meet them at appointments to interpret.”

The Community Health Outreach and Education Department obtained a grant for a lay health educator program from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act through the NCI National Community Cancer Centers Program. The two-year grant pays for a full-time bilingual community outreach worker. Susan G. Komen for the Cure Philadelphia affiliate also pays for a bilingual outreach coordinator.

In addition to the promotoras, the program includes training medical assistants at federally qualified clinics to promote screenings, starting with breast health and eventually including tests for cervical and colon cancer.

“Our goal is to have 300 people receive screenings as a result of this program,” Katurakes says. “Each one of the promotoras represents a connection in a family network who can reach others we might not otherwise have an opportunity to help.”
