[Phil and Ruth Levitz]

Join the Friends of Beit Natan team for the inaugural
 Susan G. Komen Israel Race for the Cure®
October 28th, 2010
Outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem


On Thursday, October 28, Jerusalem will be hosting the first Susan G. Komen 
Israel Race for the Cure in which "The Friends of Beit Natan" will be 
participating as a team. Cancer knows no boundaries, and neither does the 
Komen Israel Race for the Cure. You can be a part of this historical event, 
no matter where you are in the world.

Are you ready to make a difference? Whether you walk or run in the Komen 
Israel Race for the Cure, every step makes an impact.  The Race is an 
opportunity for thousands of women, men and their families, running or 
walking, to spread important messages about breast cancer in Israel and 
around the globe.  Participate in honor of a loved one, a friend, a 
co-worker, or simply to be a supporter of the global movement to end breast 
cancer forever.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure has been helping in Israel since 1994, funding 
$2 million in research and working with Israeli and U.S. Jewish 
organizations to fulfill its Promise. This year, Komen brings its signature 
Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® Series to Jerusalem for the first time, 
inviting thousands of people of all faiths and nationalities to join the 
race to end breast cancer forever in Israel and all around the world.

Funds from the Israel Race for the Cure will go towards breast cancer 
programs in Israel and to Komen outreach programs around the world.
