Summary

Suzy and Nancy Goodman were sisters, best friends, confidantes, and partners in the grand adventure of life. Then Suzy was diagnosed with breast cancer; three agonizing years later, she died. Nancy put her fund-raising talents to work and discovered a groundswell of grassroots support. Her mission to change the way the world talked about and treated breast cancer took on added urgency when she was herself diagnosed with the disease. Nancy survived and went on to make Susan G. Komen for the Cure into the most influential health charity in the country and arguably the world. Book jacket.
