In October thousands of south Floridians will participate in the City of Hope's Walk for Hope to Cure Breast Cancer at Aventura Mall and Sawgrass Mills. Walk for Hope Against Breast Cancer will help raise funds for life-saving research at City of Hope Medical Center and Beckman Research Institute, a National Cancer Institute dedicated comprehensive center. This walk is just one step in what will be a successful journey toward a cure for breast cancer. This year in south Florida alone almost 3,000 women will die from breast cancer. In addition, over 13,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in my area. I congratulate event cochairs of the walk, Lauryn Gilliam, Billy Fischer, Suzanne Chesser, and Cathy Blanchard. I also commend the City of Hope and all involved with Walk for Hope for their dedication in our battle against breast cancer.
