2011 Honorary Chairs
Help create a world with less cancer and more Birthdays
“I am both honored and pleased to serve as Honorary Co-Chair of the Relay For Life. Anything I can do to help raise money and awareness for this dreaded disease is my goal in life. Having
cancer makes me acutely aware of what others have to cope with.”
Chief James Binnicker (Ret.)
Help create a world with less cancer and more Birthdays
“I am very honored to serve as Honorary Co-Chair of Relay for Life. My Mother’s death at 44 years from breast cancer changed our family’s life forever. This past year my oldest daughter and I became breast cancer
survivors. The courage and strength I see every day from our cancer survivors inspires me. I feel I have been healed, at least for this day. My
goal is to reach out and help others heal through our 2011 “Relay for Life”.

• Cancer is a group of diseases that cause cells in the body to change and grow out of control.
• Breast cancer begins in breast tissue, which is made up of glands for milk production and the remainder of the breast is made up of fatty tissue.
• Most masses in the breast are benign and are not life threatening.
• Cancerous breast tumors are invasive or infiltrating and start in the glands. The seriousness of breast cancer depends on the stage and when it is diagnosed.
What is Breast Cancer?
• Most common among women nearly 1 in 4 cancers diagnosed in US women. Men can get breast cancer too.
• During 2002-2006 95% of new cases and 97% of breast cancer death occurred in women aged 40 and older.
• White women have a higher incidence of breast cancer than African American women, however African American women have a high incidence rate before age 45.
