The Susan G. Komen organization began with a promise. A promise made by a sister to her sister who was dying of breast cancer.
Cancer destroys the body but cannot reach the soul. After over a decade of participation in the 3-Day Walk for the Cure, I still marvel at the strength and the commitment of all who take part in the event.
Recently, I attended a symposium for corporate wellness programs.
The keynote speaker for the opening session was Alex Sheen, Founder of the social movement and nonprofit organization, because I said I would. His presentation spoke to my heart.
Here was another story of a life cut short by cancer and a loved one determined to keep a promise. What unfolded is nothing short of astounding. I’ll let Alex share his story.
A Promise Made. A Promise Kept.
Alex is truly an inspiration. He demonstrates the power of commitment and how a single person can make a difference.

Hopefully, his organization is cleaner than Komen’s….
Hi Roy. This Pollyanna prefers to focus on the positive side of volunteering and charitable events and as I noted above, celebrating the human spirit. I do appreciate you taking the time to share your view. Thanks, Roy.
