save america's boobs...Fight breast cancer
Team Shasta was started by Shasta Johnson a patient survivor who participated not only for the herself, she is also walked in honor of her sister Fiona Kootenay who lost the battle against breast cancer in 2005 at age 29. Shasta’s team includes her husband, Richard Cam Johnson and two of close friends, Shaloe Nations and Kimberly Lavender. As a team we raised over $10,000.

About the Breast Cancer 3-Day
Taking place in 12 cities nationwide, the Breast Cancer 3-Day is
a three day, 60-mile walk that provides an opportunity to educate
tens of thousands
of people about breast health, including the importance of early
detection. Breast Cancer 3-Day participants commit to raising a minimum
of $2,200
and walking an average of 20 miles a day during each three-day
event. Proceeds from the Breast Cancer 3-Day are used for breast
cancer research,
education, and community outreach programs. As the primary beneficiary
of the Breast Cancer 3-Day, Susan G. Komen for the Cure receives
85 percent of net proceeds and the remaining 15 percent goes to the
National
Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. National sponsors for the
2007 Breast Cancer 3-Day series are New Balance, LaCroix, and THOR-LO,
Inc.

About Susan G. Komen for the Cure
Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would
do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that
promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global
breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s
largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists
fighting
to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize
science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for
the Cure® and the Breast Cancer 3-Days, the organization has
invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill its promise, becoming the largest
source
of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in
the world. For more information about Komen for the Cure, breast
