Komen Global Race for the Cure

Sharon Rapoport and John Anderson of The Farm were honored to attend a special reception held by the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure folks at their Washington DC office to launch their first Global Race for the Cure. We met incredible women from Egypt to Greece to Germany to South Africa, who will be spearheading Race for the Cure events in their respective countries this year. Sharon walked with fellow cancer survivors (which included John's sister, Mary Enright and Sharon's close friend/fellow survivor Brenda Foster) in the Breast Cancer Survivors hero walk, and then joined 50,000 supporters to walk the 5k event on Saturday. John ran. It was an incredible experience.

My heroes

I finally sent off to my editor last week the book that I've been writing. It is a breast cancer caregiving book for men when their loved ones are diagnosed. I have had four women go through breast cancer in my life - my wife, my sister, my mom and my mom's best friend. My mom died from breast cancer, unfortunately, in 1988, but Caryl (mom's best friend who was my babysitter growing up), Sharon (my wife) and Mary (my sister), pictured here from left to right at the Race for the Cure in Washington, DC are still here, thank God. They are my true heroes. --John Anderson
