Last October 10, 13,000 people gathered on a balmy day for an annual rite in Cedar Rapids, IA: the Especially for You Race Against Breast Cancer. Infants to nonagenarians from 447 cities in 30 states assembled to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer screening. Survivors wore pink scarves. Cindy Young, data processing officer for Fairfax State Savings Bank, watched them all proudly. Working nights and weekends, Young and a steering committee gathered friends, relatives and colleagues to organize the annual event.
