The Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk has been canceled in seven locations, including Tampa Bay, after the organization lost some of its financial support and find less-expensive ways to raise money. As the Tampa Bay Times reports, the non-profit came under fire last year after it announced it would stop awarding grants to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer education and screening.
ST. PETERSBURGFinishing the iconic Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk last year was so important to breast cancer survivor Geri Bertolino, she wouldn't let even a serious knee injury stop her. The 57-year-old Sarasota woman hobbled across the finish line on crutches, joining the 1,300 walkers who completed the 60-mile trek to raise breast cancer funds and awareness.
