The Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure is a 60-mile walk that helps mothers, sisters, spouses, and friends get one step closer to a world without breast cancer.  A&E’s Jaimie Howard, junior animal science major from Argyle, Texas, participated in this event that took place November 5-7.  Each walker was required to raise $2300 in order to participate.  The money raised was used for breast cancer research and community outreach programs that educate people about breast cancer.
