This felt great and very supportive - which is what Komen Kids is all about. Our Komen Kids chapter was the first, started by the nonprofit Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, in Orange County, California. It is now a national program with chapters in many cities across the nation. Komen Kids helps and participates in the Race for the CureTM, which raises money to help find the cure for breast cancer. I wish that no other kids had to hear the words I heard about my mom having cancer,, but if they do, I am glad that Komen Kids are there to help them through it.
