In Episode 108 of Spotlight Houston, host Blanca Quezada spotlights the Susan G. Komen Foundation, a key player in the fight against breast cancer. We're joined by Brandice Pierre, Executive Director of the Gulf Coast Susan G. Komen Foundation, and Hilary Ware, a breast cancer survivor and passionate volunteer.

Brandice shares how Susan G. Komen Foundation helps patients and families through free screenings, financial assistance, and support programs. "Every two minutes, a woman in the U.S. is diagnosed with breast cancer. And we know that one in eight women in the United States will face a breast cancer diagnosis in their lifetime," Brandice shares, stressing the importance of early detection and community support. Hilary shares her personal journey, adding, "Komen was there for me every step of the way."

Learn more about their work, including the Race for the Cure and how they're changing lives with research and advocacy. If you or someone you know needs help, visit https://www.komen.org/ or call the helpline at 1-877-465-6636 (1-877 GO KOMEN).
