Our Affiliate was sent the following email. We are honored to play such a part in one individuals life and hope this inspires everyone to be a part of our 2011 Race!

Good morning!

I am a recent graduate from Baylor University, and this past April I attended the Race for the Cure Central Texas to cover the event for my photojournalism class. I had never been to a race before and the experience has truly changed me. It made me realize that my passion and career aspiration is to work with Susan G. Komen for the Cure and help further the cause. I have posted the video montage that I created from my images from the race and thought it is something that your group might enjoy watching. It was a labor of love and I am pretty happy with the end product. I hope you like it! If you ever want the actual file footage to put the video on your Facebook or Twitter page or anything, I am more than happy to give it to you. Above all else, I hope it encourages you and reminds you of the amazing work all of your effort goes toward. God bless.

The project will enable highly toxic drugs to be delivered in small doses directly to tumours, where their toxicity can safely be put to good use. If successful, the technique could easily be adapted for other diseases.
