But it made a big impact on me.

Twenty years ago, when my sister Susan Komen asked me to do something to cure this disease, we couldn’t even imagine a day like today.

Don't get me wrong: I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Even the word 'cancer' brings back the nausea and pain, the fear I felt, and the heartbreak I saw in my parents' faces. The smells that fill hospitals and the constant tired feeling that comes with treatment are also permanently stuck in my memory.
