Breast cancer is the number one cancer risk for women worldwide. All women are at risk but, by thoughtful lifestyle choices, we can lower our risk. Don’t smoke, think of junk food as poison, eat a healthful diet, and daily exercise are behaviors that reduce risk. But I have known far too many women who do all of these things and still develop cancer. I walk for them. We need to learn more. Diagnosis and treatment need to become more precise. I walk to help bring awareness. I walk to raise money because the advances are expensive.
The spring weather could not be more glorious for an aerobic walk. The beauty of nature makes us glad to be alive. Exercise is good for our body, but exercising outdoors is even better. The benefits of outdoor exercise are well documented: outdoor exercise elevates mood and improves self-esteem. The EIF Revlon Walk/Run celebrates your life and health. I invite my friends and patients to join me on Saturday, May 1st so that our daughters and granddaughters can be safer.

Jana Klauer, M.D.
