Looking for survivors in a great sea of givers
Posted by Esther Fabian : August 25th, 2009The UT community is full of very giving folks. Dance Marathon. The Community Care Clinic. The Heart Walk.
An upcoming cause, now near and dear to my heart, is breast cancer, and the Susan G. Komen Northwest Ohio Race for the Cure® is being held downtown on Sept. 27.
UT Medical Center is a partner of the 16th annual event, and we’re looking for walkers and runners to join our team.
I would like to put out a personal request that UT breast cancer survivors join me as a team member. I have complementary registrations for the first eight UT faculty or staff members who are also breast cancer survivors that sign up for our team – just post a comment to this journal or email me and I’ll get a registration form to you.
If you’d like, stop by the Skyview Food Court between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 27, you can get a registration form from Michelle Giovanoli, radiation oncology tech manager, and buy raffle tickets for a beautiful quilt made by the Promise Quilters. Read more.
Please join us in helping the Komen Foundation support programs that help the underserved in northwest Ohio get the screening and treatment they need for breast cancer.

Over her nine years of employment at the institution, she continues to be fascinated by the incredible things that UT Medical Center professionals do every day to help people and loves learning about the many aspects of health care through those exceptional people. Esther hopes to use this journal to give folks a peek into the world of UT Medical Center, and maybe an occasional glimpse into the world of a working mom and owner of many, many pets.

Esther,
I have never participated in this event. You are JUST the inspiration I needed to join! Count me in, and forward me a registration form.
