Winning the Race: Taking Charge of Breast Cancer - Tapa blanda

This is the moving story of Nancy Brinker and her journey to create a world without breast cancer. It chronicles the sad and painful loss of Suzy, her sister, and the evolution of the Komen Foundation from a handful of volunteers in Nancy Brinker's living room to a multi-million dollar international foundation. But this book is so much more. It is a 'comforting friend' for every woman who has been diagnosed with breast cancer or who fears she might be -- it is a survival guide filled with the latest breast cancer prevention, detection and treatment information in an easy-to-read style, packed with Nancy's own 'take charge of your life' insights culled from more than two decades of patient advocacy.

Nancy Brinker is the Founding Chair of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and is recognized as one of the world's leading patient advocates. She is a frequent speaker volunteer for medical and corporate audiences in the U.S. and abroad, lecturing about the fight against breast cancer and the Komen foundation's innovative research, detection and treatment programs.
