SHOW SUPPORT FOR SURVIVORS. THEY CAME TO THE WALK FOR YEARS AND THEN IT HIT HOME. JUST THAT I MISS HER. YEAH, I MISSED HER WHEN SHE WAS HERE WITH ME. SHE JUST WAS A WONDERFUL HUMAN. SO IT’S HARD. LINDA, LINDA MACKEY, THE AMAZING WIFE AND MOTHER, WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER. SHE FOUGHT FOR SIX YEARS. IT WAS KIND OF A SHOCK BECAUSE SHE WAS ALWAYS THE STRONG ONE OF THE FAMILY. SO IT WAS KIND OF LIKE A VERY IMPACTFUL MOMENT FOR ALL OF US. BUT I MEAN, BECAUSE WE HAD THAT STRONG FOUNDATION, WE KIND OF JUST BONDED TOGETHER AND THEN TRY TO GET THROUGH IT AS BEST WE COULD. NOW HER FAMILY COMES TO THE MORE THAN PINK WALK IN HER HONOR AND HELP OTHERS GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING, LIKE PAMELA AUSTIN. I WAS TERRIFIED. I’D NEVER HAD A A REGULAR MAMMOGRAM. I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. YOU KNOW, YOUR MIND GOES TO THE WORST CASE SCENARIO. OF COURSE, PAMELA’S BREAST CANCER WAS FOUND ONE YEAR AGO THROUGH A ROUTINE MAMMOGRAM. THANKFULLY, IT WAS CAUGHT VERY EARLY IN ALL CANCERS. THE ANSWER IS EARLY DETECTION. SO I UNDERSTAND THAT IT’S SCARY, BUT NOT KNOWING DOESN’T MEAN THAT IT’S NOT THERE. SO GETTING TO IT EARLY IS SO IMPORTANT FOR YOUR OUTCOME AND IF YOU DO IT EARLY, YOU’LL BE LIKE ME AND YOU’LL BE READY TO GO FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AND GOOD THINGS WILL HAPPEN. SHE HAD A PARTIAL MASTECTOMY AND FIVE RADIATION TREATMENTS AND WILL BE ON DRUG THERAPY FOR FIVE YEARS. SHE WILL BE JOINING THE WALK FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME TO EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF GETTING A MAMMOGRAM AND DOING SELF-EXAMS. MICHELLE WRIGHT PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOR THE ANNUAL MORE THAN PINK WALK BENEFITTING THE SUSAN G. KOMEN FOUNDATION IS SCHEDULED FOR THIS WEEKEND AT SCHENLEY PARK. THE OPENING CEREMONY IS SET TO BEGIN AT NINE SUNDAY MORNING, FOLLOWED BY THE WALK AT 930. WP
