Komen. “Whether you are in treatment, celebrating survivorship, or a family member, friend or loved one, we hope you will join us in Manchester in October and be part of our collective efforts to end breast cancer forever.”
“We welcome all the members of our breast cancer community honoring friends, family and anyone who has been impacted by the disease,” said Nicole Marohn, Executive Director of New England at Susan G.
