Last weekend, I once again had the wonderful opportunity to work with the Maryland Chapter of Susan G. Komen for the Cure at their event “Finding Your Path to Breast Health.”  The event started off with breakfast and an exhibition of community resources and local hospitals.  Attendees listened to a very informative educational program from various doctors, nutritionists, fitness gurus, and my favorite always, survivors.  Thanks to Susan G. Komen for helping women (and men) live longer and healthier lives!!

Kelly Swoope, news anchor for ABC2, was the Master of Ceremonies for the morning.  Kelly is an active member for the Maryland Affiliate of Susan G. Komen board.

Lynne Brick from Brick Bodies spoke and was absolutely hilarious!!! She got the audience on their feet and had them moving right away.  If anyone is in need of a fitness speaker, I would highly recommend Lynne–she is such an inspirational speaker and the message she brought to these women about fitness and their health was so fantastic!

The survivor panel is always my favorite and makes me cry every time.  Cancer survivors are the strongest people I know and I love to hear their stories–makes me remember what is really important in life.  The women on the panel included Maimah Karmo, founder of the Tigerlily Foundation; Marlene King and her husband, Pastor Eric King–loved the addition of a partner of a survivor on the panel; and Kaliope Parthemos, Deputy Mayor of Economic and Neighborhood Development for Baltimore City.

In case you didn’t know, the inaugural Ocean City Race for the Cure is coming up on Sunday, April 22nd.  Tell your friends and I hope you can make it!
