The proceeds of the 5K WALK/RUN For the Women We Love will benefit all women in our Atlanta community.  Women who need to know about the silent symptoms of gynecologic cancers. With the money we raise gynecologic cancer patients in the Atlanta metro community will benefit through the foundation's Sue Kassin Memorial Indigent Fund and through the Necessities For the Women We Love program  - a program that provides books and products to women in treatment for gynecologic cancer. The contents of the Necessities Box empower the patient and provide the benefits of attending a cancer support class without leaving home.

If you cannot join participate on April 19th, you can register as a Sleep Walker. Your $40 donation will not only help us reach our goal, but you will receive a walk t-shirt after the event date. You can wear your t-shirt to help bring awareness of For the Women We Love to your community as well.

If you can't make a donation at this point, help us reach our goal by sharing this page on Facebook and Twitter!

Or, even better, send an e-mail to friends you think might be interested in contributing and include a link to our registration page!
