# What Your Support Does

Every 10 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. Her first reaction is fear and confusion. Support is just a phone call or mouse click away. Our free services offer a friendly ear and expert guidance to anyone dealing with this life-threatening illness.

By running or walking with us, you can ensure that we are there when people need us. Here is how your contribution can help:

- $15 pays for a headscarf set, boosting the confidence of women who have lost their hair from her breast cancer treatment.
- $50 trains a member of our support network for a year to help improve the care of women with breast cancer.
- $125 covers the cost of counselling sessions to help women cope with the distress of their cancer treatment.
- $250 funds a hospital information station for a year so that people affected by breast cancer have easy access to the latest resources and help.

We will help you find accommodations during your visit.

## History

Since its inception in 2004, Diane's Run has grown from a purely local event involving 100 runners to a signature Wyoming event with more than 2000 participants annually. The event is enormously effective in spreading the message that breast cancer need not be fatal if caught early enough with mammography and breast self-exam. As well as a top-flight athletic event, Diane's Run is an emotionally moving event attracting many first timers and recreational runners. This event provides all of us with the opportunity to spread a hopeful message about breast cancer to our families and our communities.

## Remembering Diane

Diane's Run is named in remembrance of Diane Wheaton, mother of 2 and wife of Peter, who passed away in May, 2003. Diane was an outspoken advocate of physical fitness and healthy living. She was an inspiration to all who knew her and continues to be an inspiration to the thousands of runners who have participated in this event.

We hope you can join us this year and become part of the Diane's Run family.
