Statistically speaking, one out of every eight women you know will be diagnosed with breast cancer. That means in 2008 alone, more than 200,000 family members, friends, neighbors and co-workers will struggle to avoid becoming another statistic—one of the 40,000 women who die annually due to breast cancer. By hosting a regatta at your club or signing up for a race in your city, you will help raise funds to support the search for a cure.
