promise between two sisters inspired a global movement to end breast cancer forever. The Austin Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® continues to uphold this promise in the community by hosting the 13th Annual Komen Austin Race for the Cure on Sunday, November 13 to raise funds for breast cancer screening, treatment and education programs for Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis and Williamson counties, as well as research for the cure. In this special issue of Austin Fit Magazine, Komen Austin Affiliate staff, advocates, breast cancer survivors and volunteers share what they are promising to do in the fight against breast cancer. We hope these stories move YOU to make a promise for yourself and the community as we work together to put an end to this disease.

What Will You Prom se? A Promise from the President and Executive Director
I
began my tenure on the Komen Austin Board due to my deep emotional connection with the organization’s core mission. Both my grandmother and mother have been affected by this disease. During the past six years on the Board, it has been incredible to watch the growth and advancement of the Komen Austin Affiliate. I have met so many wonderful people who have touched and impacted my life in so many ways, and for that I am forever grateful. I have seen how the dollars raised have impacted the lives of those affected by breast cancer. I am incredibly proud to be associated with an organization like the Komen Austin Affiliate where 75 percent of the money raised stays LOCAL. My family history, in conjunction with all I have learned while serving on the Komen Austin Board, has taught me the importance of being breast self

hat an amazing year! My life was transformed when I accepted the position of Executive Director at the Komen Austin Affiliate in April of last year. While I had volunteered for the organization for many years, fighting breast cancer on a day-to-day basis has made me more passionate and determined than ever. Over the last year, the organization has grown and developed into a very powerful team. I’ve met men and women from our community that are alive today because of the funds our organization provides. I’ve also seen our volunteer and advocate numbers skyrocket. The Komen Austin Affiliate is extremely proud of the fact that 75 percent of the money raised LOCALLY stays LOCAL. This means our generous advocates can be assured that their money is serving their community. The remaining 25 percent funds breast cancer research. Each year the Komen Austin Affiliate, along with our family of volunteers, works diligently to raise money through our annual Komen Austin Race for the Cure®. This year we are asking each individual make a commitment to raise $125 more

Komen for the Cure® has been hard at work here in the community raising money to provide breast cancer screening, education and medical services as well as financial and emotional support. In fact, more than 75 percent of the money raised each year is put to work right here in Travis, Hays, Williamson, Bastrop and Caldwell counties to improve the lives of everyone affected by this deadly disease. The remaining funds go to national research to find a cure for breast cancer once and for all. This year, the Komen Austin Affiliate announced its largest single LOCAL investment. What does this mean for the community? You have access to FREE breast cancer screening and medical treatments as well as emergency services through 11 healthcare organizations.

Four Survivors. Four Promises.
I
AM one in eight women in the United States diagnosed with breast cancer. I AM the face behind the money YOU raise for the Komen Austin Affiliate. My husband and I moved to Texas in 2003 from Puerto Rico. Due to the transition and high cost of health insurance, I missed my annual exam and mammogram that year. The following spring, a friend told me that I could qualify to receive a low-cost mammogram from Seton, which received funding from the Komen Austin Affiliate for these types of services. I called,

qualified and was scheduled to have a mammogram in Georgetown. Today, women and men may receive FREE breast cancer services from Seton and other healthcare organizations in the Komen Austin Affiliate’s fivecounty service area. They found something on the mammogram. Further imaging and diagnostic procedures were scheduled because I had nothing to compare it to from the previous year. From there a core biopsy had to be done, and then I was referred to a surgeon. As soon as the surgeon called me with the bad news and recommended a mastectomy, my journey began. I can only compare this journey to a hurricane season in Puerto Rico. What category would this be? What will it destroy? What will it leave behind— scars? Pain? Distress? Debris that will stay forever? After all, isn’t that what cancer is—a stage? A category? I have scars, pain, and sometimes feel distress, and I have to pick-up the debris. I hate to think of the hard times, but I know it was relatively easy compared to other women. I know God is good and life is good. I have never questioned my destiny and never felt alone. In my journey, angels came forward in the form of nurses, surgeons and oncologists. Seven years passed of living cancer FREE; however, I didn’t realize another hurricane season was around the corner. In October of last year, I went back for my annual appointment. After a few scans,

I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer and was told that the cancer had spread to my liver, lungs and part of my sternum. I am currently going through chemotherapy and take a daily pill, which is part of a clinical trial, in hopes to help women in the future who may have to fight this disease. I know of today and not of tomorrow. If there are women out there who can find comfort or inspiration in my journey, then I can say it has been worth it. We need a cure NOW. Every day that passes without a cure is one day too late for so many of us. Everyone deserves access to breast cancer care and education - that’s what YOUR dollars fund in our community. So today I PROMISE to continue to be the face behind the monies raised by the Komen Austin Affiliate. For those who wonder if the money is used here in our community to fund breast cancer screening, treatment and education programs for those affected by breast cancer...HERE IS MY FACE! Your donations actually work! Please join me in making a promise to fight breast cancer and share that promise with your friends, family and peers at the 2011 Komen Austin Race for the Cure on Nov. 13, 2011 in downtown Austin.

have always been healthy as a cat my entire life. That is until I found a lump in my breast area in 2004 while showering. As a typical male, I didn’t think much of it until I noticed its rapid growth. In July of 2004, I finally decided to go to the doctor. We took a biopsy and the waiting game began. Eventually, the tests came back positive for breast cancer. I underwent surgery, at which time small traces of cancer were found in two of my primary lymph nodes. Two weeks later, I was back in surgery removing my lymph nodes under my right arm. We all figured
that after chemotherapy for the next 18 weeks, I would be good to go back to normal life again. Because I am estrogen receptor-positive, I had to counter the estrogen that promotes growth of cancer cells with oral hormone therapy, just as many women do for posttreatment. In January of 2010, I made it through my first five years just fine, and I was taken off of the hormone drug. “Normal” life went on until July of 2010, when I noticed a lump had appeared on my chest almost overnight. I spent the weekend waiting for it to disappear, but it didn’t. I was diagnosed again, promptly had surgery and then sent into treatment. I went through chemotherapy and radiation treatments for the second time, finishing up this past February. I had a follow-up PET scan in April with great results; I am clear of cancer! I have a great team of doctors here in Austin, all compassionate and true professionals. They determined that the second occurrence was the result of small traces of cancer left in the lymph nodes in my chest area from my previous bout with cancer in 2004. When I stopped the hormone therapy pill in January of 2010, it was a signal for the tumors to begin growing again and, in only six months, the tumor located between my ribs had grown to such a large size that it surfaced on my chest. Because it was visible, I could do something about it. I am a very fortunate man, and these experiences have opened my eyes to life. I have the greatest wife who has loved, cared and supported me through both battles. My family members, friends and my church

fellowship members have provided love and prayers. Through this experience, I have truly accepted God in my life. My job and sports officiating associates were concerned and considerate; they continued to keep me involved by allowing me to run the game clocks on Friday nights while I was going through chemotherapy. I always tried to live my life as normally as possible throughout my treatments and maintain a very positive attitude - I feel this is a key to successful recovery. I PROMISE to help inform people, more specifically males, that this is a disease that CAN affect them. They need to be aware of their bodies, listen and react when something is not quite right. Remember, I too was healthy until I got breast cancer.

Four Survivors. Four Promises. needle aspiration and even a lumpectomy to remove my “abnormal” cells, I was told that I had triple negative breast cancer. That came as a shock to me since we have no family history of breast cancer, I was in the best shape I’d been in since high school and had breastfed my daughter for 13 months. I felt I was so healthy that when the doctors would ask who was my primary care physician...I didn’t have one! I was a healthy person with no primary care physician, but now I have an oncologist? I underwent many surgeries, including a double mastectomy, and had six rounds of chemotherapy. I finished my treatment in February of 2010 and had my final reconstructive surgery last November. I can now say that’s it. I’m done. No more surgeries, no more chemotherapy treatments. I’m done. But that’s just one side of my story.

She also knew that pink, her favorite color, meant “go away cancer.” I used to spend so much money on hair colors, cuts and products and was always trying new styles. Now I can really say I’ve tried them all by shaving my head. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine I would shave my head. You see, cancer didn’t make my hair fall out; I chose to shave it! Now, I have a shorter hairstyle than I ever would have imagined for myself, but it’s by far my favorite look to date. I love when I am asked “what made you decide to cut your hair so short?” It’s a great opportunity to share my story with others. In the past, I had always participated in the Komen Austin Race for the Cure. It was a great thing to do and you got a free t- shirt, so why not? Now, I’m passionate about the Race and putting an end to breast cancer. I don’t just race in the “free t-shirt” anymore - I AM one of the ones in the pink shirt. I AM who you are running for. That’s the other side of my story and it’s NOWHERE near finished. It’s really just beginning. I PROMISE that you can live life after breast cancer! I’m doing it and so can you!

nowing my family history saved my life! My mother died from breast cancer, as did my grandmother AND other female relatives. Because of this, I was labeled “high-risk” and started having mammograms at the young age of 22. I had several issues with fibroid tumors in my breast, but they were usually reported as negative for cancer. After 14 years of receiving regular mammograms and several false alarms,
I unfortunately heard the words “you have breast cancer.” As a mother of two, I felt overwhelmed and saddened by this diagnosis. I kept telling myself that I had to live for my children; I had to be here to see them grow-up! I needed to talk to someone, so I turned to my brother, a pastor, who reassured me that I would be okay. I also contacted a local breast cancer organization where I met a network of survivors and lifetime friends, who encouraged and assisted me to do my research to find out the best options for my battle with breast cancer. Through my research, I learned that genes play an important role when determining your breast cancer treatment and surgery. Who knew that family history and my genetic make-up would have an affect on MY breast cancer story? I had the BRCA test, and a mutation was found. Due to learning those results and countless hours of research, coupled with the aggressive nature of my breast cancer, I was able to choose the right surgical procedure to reduce recurrence. I was then treated with chemotherapy for eight months followed by eight months of oral hormone therapy. Today, I am happy to say that I am cancer FREE! Now I must think of my daughter,

Letter from your Race Chair
S
even years ago, I found out that my favorite aunt’s breast cancer had spread. I realized that she was not going to beat the disease that she had been fighting for years.
She was one of the most important people in my life. To ease the ache of my loss, I began searching. I was looking for a lot of things—a reason, a purpose, a cure, but what I found was a promise. This promise was made from one sister to another. Nancy Brinker was looking for the same things when she founded the Komen organization in 1982. Here I was, more than 20 years later, finally catching up. I’ll never forget my first Komen Austin Race for the Cure. I was in awe. I shared the pain of loss and the joy of hope with 20,000 people – strangers no more – now allies, looking for the same things. After participating in the Race, I was inspired and energized to get involved. I promised to take action and not let myself become defeated by loss. So, I attended volunteer and education orientation and participated in all things “for the Cure,” including stuffing Race bags and labeling educational materials. The following year I not only formed a Race team, I also joined the Race committee. Throughout the years I have served as chair of the finance committee and registration committee as well as being the Race CoChair in 2010. It felt good to be involved.
My promise granted me a measure of peace and purpose and led me to some of the most wonderful people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Today, I’m proud to be your Race Chair. I have found the volunteers this year to be as I find them every year - dedicated, passionate, and motivated by nothing less than their own goodness and generosity. But this year, my promise is different. Today my promise is not about me but about others. I PROMISE to do my best to help put on an amazing race that brings the community together for the purpose of education, awareness and hope. We must show the world that Central Texas will do all it can to stomp out cancer—for my aunt Patty and for all of us who still live, love and hope. I hope to count you among our participants, volunteers and supporters on Sunday, November 13. Remember, it’s everybody’s fight and we’ll need everybody’s feet. With Hope,

unFAR Racing Services will again use the disposable road racing timing system created by ChronoTrack Systems. Timed participants no longer have to register their timing chip at packet pick-up or have it removed at the finish line! The system allows race organizers to print an integrated bib and tag for each participant and encode the runner’s bib number into the tag’s RFID chip. The peeloff, disposable portion of the bib becomes a tag that attaches to runners’ shoes. You can find instructions and more information on the disposable tag timing system at www.run-far.com. The timing system does not allow the use of personal timing chips. As a chip-timed participant, you will be placed into one of four divisions: Age Group, Wheelchair, Handcycle or Survivor. Overall winners will be scored by gun time. Masters and age group winners will be scored by chip time. Results will be announced at the RunFAR tent after the race. Prizes will be awarded to the following categories of 5K finishers (no duplicate awards will be given): • Survivor: Top 3 Overall • Wheelchair: Top 3 Overall (open) • Handcycle: Top 3 Overall (open) • Top 3 Overall Males • Top 3 Overall Females

“Randalls embraces the Komen Austin Race for the Cure’s mission to raise significant funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer, celebrate cancer survivorship, and honor those who have lost their battle with the disease. Randalls is a proud sponsor of the Race as we band together to battle breast cancer.”
id you know that your registration fee mainly covers the cost of putting on the Komen Austin Affiliate Race for the Cure? Only 20 percent of Race Participants raises funds each year, meaning 80 percent does not. In 2010, close to 90 percent of donations came from participants that were on a TEAM! These donations are critical for funding LOCAL breast cancer treatment, medical and support services as well as research for the cures. Check out last year’s top teams below - THANK YOU for your support!

“At Avant Salon and Spas, we make it a regular practice to use our time, talent, and services to support local and national charitable organizations.

Health and fitness are inextricably linked in the lives of cancer patients, survivors, and their families, and we are proud to be participating sponsors.”
“As a woman’s magazine, all of our readers have been impacted in some way by breast cancer. Whether they have fought it themselves or have held a friend or family member’s hand through the fight, breast cancer means something to all women. That’s why we support the Komen Austin Race for the Cure, because it is something small that we can do to combat this huge disease.”

Most of you are only familiar with the Komen Austin Race for the Cure, but we have other ways to get involved:
Young Professionals for the Cure
I
n 2009, a small group of community members created the Young Professionals for the Cure (YPC) to increase the awareness of breast cancer among the young community and raise much needed funds to impact the LOCAL fight against breast cancer. Today, the YPC is a 100-member strong group that hosts several events including Think Pink, a breast cancer education event for individuals ages 21 to 40, and Dine Out for the Cure, a one-day fundraising event where restaurants can give back, as well as several networking mixers.
They will participate in their second Komen Austin Race for the Cure as a team and will host their annual team fundraiser on Oct. 1, 2011 from 5 to 9 p.m. at Hangar Lounge in downtown Austin. Members of the group even won $500 for the Komen Austin Affiliate by participating in the annual Do Gooder Games presented by the Young Non-Profit Professionals Network. Registration for the 2012 YPC membership will open in October. Stay tuned to www.komenaustin.org/ypc to learn more.
Komen Austin Ride for the Cure Take the reins in the fight against breast cancer at the second annual Komen Austin Ride for the Cure! Next May, horse enthusiasts from all over will come together for a trail ride to raise awareness and funds for the LOCAL fight against breast cancer. If you are interested in learning how to turn yourself AND your horse PINK for a good cause, please email

REAST CANCER has been a part of my vocabulary since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I have seen the disease wreak havoc on some of the most influential women in my life: my aunt, my grandmother and my mother. I have learned that this is a disease which does not discriminate and knows no limits. My mom was diagnosed in 2001 after finding a lump during her annual mammogram. She underwent a radical mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, followed by eight rounds of chemotherapy and 38 rounds of radiation. Just a few months after completing her treatment, we found out that the cancer had spread to her brain. The doctors found a malignant brain tumor the size of a golf ball. Again, she had the tumor removed and underwent 25 additional radiation treatments. She was only in remission for a few months when the cancer returned once more. This time the doctor told us that it spread to the fluids in her brain and spine; there was nothing else that could be done. At the age of 49, she finally lost her battle to breast cancer. My sister and I decided to participate in the Komen Austin Race for the Cure in November of 2004. I had no idea that my life was about to change. There is nothing more inspiring than looking out in the crowd and seeing thousands of people whose lives have also been affected by breast cancer. For the first time since my mom died, I
realized I was not alone. It was the most exhilarating experience, and my sister and I were hooked! We have participated in the Race every year since! I started volunteering for the Komen Austin Affiliate in 2009. I began by attending health fairs in the community, educating people about breast cancer and the Komen Austin Affiliate. It was so empowering to share my story. I was able to connect and relate with complete strangers who have also been touched by the disease. I loved volunteering so much that I decided to apply for an internship with them in the spring of 2010. Since then, I have served on two volunteer committees for the Race, and I am currently the Race for the Cure Intern. I PROMISE to dedicate my time and resources to support the Race for the Cure Chair so that we can put on a successful Race in which our participants, survivors, and co-survivors feel loved, encouraged and supported. No one should ever feel alone in this fight. My journey with the Komen Austin Affiliate has brought meaning and purpose to my life. I made a conscious decision to turn the most negative experience into a positive one. I refuse to stop fighting my mom’s fight and will continue to make my impact on breast cancer in her memory. What will you promise?

Four Advocates. Four Promises.
I
remember standing at the start line crying at the 2009 Komen Austin Race for the Cure. I was overwhelmed by the survivors who surrounded me: some wearing shirts with the year they were diagnosed, some with the year they became cancer-free and others with balding heads currently battling the disease. They were all smiling from ear to ear. I had been a part of the Race since 2006 helping to organize our workplace team. My grandmother died from breast cancer when I was only 7 years old. I don’t really have many memories of her, but I ALWAYS race for her! In 2010, I started a team and raised money, but unfortunately I found out I would not be able to be in Austin on Race day. So, I searched for another way to get involved. I became an office volunteer for the Komen Austin Affiliate and assisted new team captains for the Race with questions and ideas on fundraising. Since I had done the Race for several years and had been a team captain, it was a perfect fit.
F
ortunately, breast cancer was foreign to me until a dear friend of mine was diagnosed. Her grace through the entire experience and her genuine concern for her daughters and other important women in her life sparked something inside of me that grew into a fullblown passion that needed to be expressed. I felt there was a huge opportunity to educate young people about breast cancer in a unique and fun way - and by fun, I mean a 100-yard high heel dash! In 2009, I started Stiletto Stampede for the Cure with the support of my closet friends and family, who were just as passionate as I was about the cause. As a group, we decided that the event should support the Komen Austin Affiliate since it is a vital organization for our community. They have incredible leadership and a proven track record of positively influencing those that live in our area through critical grant giving, necessary social services and life-saving education. We are now in our third year and are thrilled to announce that the Stiletto Stampede for the Cure event will be expanding to other fabulous Texas cities, including Houston this fall and Dallas and Waco in the spring of 2012. We know there are people everywhere who may not know that breast cancer does not discriminate based on what year you were born, so we can’t stop at Austin.

komenaustin.org
The Stiletto Stampede organization will also be launching BOOB CAMP this October. This comprehensive program will not only concentrate on the physical portion of post-surgery recovery, but the social and emotional aspects of healing as well. We will provide a series of postoperative land and water exercises at Pure Austin and a beauty experience at 512 Skincare and Thomas Saverio Salon & Spa following the completion of the program. I PROMISE to continue to be breast self-aware, to maintain the Stiletto Stampede mission, and to encourage young women and men to know and understand the risks of breast cancer and empower them to prevent the disease by utilizing overall breast self-awareness through early detection, screening methods and education.

I am there to do whatever the team needs me to do - there is no job too small. I have a very busy job as a restaurant manager and sometimes can’t volunteer as much as I would like, but I make it work. Volunteering is important to me because I am doing something bigger than me. A few times a month, I get calls to the office from women who don’t have insurance and think they may have a lump in their breast. They don’t know where to go or what to do, and they need help. I can help by directing them to the community health care organizations that provide FREE breast cancer services that the Komen Austin Affiliate funds. Those are the moments that make it all worth it. I PROMISE to continue to volunteer with the Komen Austin Affiliate to help in any way that I can and to continue to educate my friends about breast cancer and early detection.

PROMISE to embrace each day and live life to the fullest. I PROMISE to help encourage others battling cancer to wake up each day and do the same. I PROMISE to pray, motivate, encourage and inspire those in the midst of their fight with cancer. In December 2009, I was diagnosed with ductile carcinoma in situ stage II breast cancer with probable lymph node involvement. My doctor performed a lumpectomy and removed 22 lymph nodes from my right side. After surgery, my doctor told me “you’re young and strong, you probably have a 50/50 chance of surviving five years.” Wow! Not what I expected to hear. By looking at the lymph nodes, my doctor thought that 12 were involved. I lived with that diagnosis for three days until I saw an oncologist, who said the pathology report showed that only two lymph nodes were involved. If I did all the recommended treatment, I could beat this thing. I was still devastated. All my life I dedicated myself to a strict healthy diet. I have completed five marathons, two triathlons and too many half marathons and 10k’s to count. It was hard to fathom that I had breast cancer. I continued to run throughout my surgeries, recovery and all sorts of scans and testing. On Feb. 14, 2010, I even ran the Austin Half Marathon in 2:06 hours. I felt great. I felt normal. My port for chemotherapy was right under my bra strap and not happy to be running, but I never felt it after the first mile. During my chemotherapy, my sister Terri called to tell me she stayed up praying for me asking God - why? Why Lydia? The answer came back to her as my greeting cards with characters I created in 1995. I felt her prayer was truly a sign to start drawing again and use those characters
in the fight against cancer, so got2live was born. A few weeks after my first chemotherapy treatment, I received my first of many medical bills in the mail for $17,000. Wow! Although I had insurance, I was still amazed by the healthcare costs. It is hard enough to fight cancer; I can’t imagine dealing with the financial stress of unpaid medical bills on top of my treatment. During my treatment, I learned about the many patients who can’t afford their electricity bill, a cab ride to treatment or even a babysitter during or after treatment. This broke my heart. I really wanted got2live to provide money to those who struggle financially during treatment. We recently launched a pink line of got2live cards that support the Komen Austin Affiliate to help those who do not have insurance or need help paying for their cancer treatment. I was able to keep running throughout my cancer treatment, which helped me both physically and mentally. I hope we can ALL unite on Sunday, November 13 to Race for the Cure. Every step does matter.
