How the Susan G. Komen Foundation Lost Its Way: "Before Susan G. Komen died of breast cancer in 1980, she asked her sister Nancy to promise to work towards finding a cure.

Susan G. Komen was diagnosed with cancer at age 33, and succumbed to the illness three years later, at age 36. Susan G. Komen For the Cure was established shortly thereafter in 1982 by her older sister, Nancy Brinker. Since the foundation's inception, over $1.9 billion has been raised for breast cancer research and prevention. All well and good, right?..."
