CHCS Perspectives Summer/Fall 2013

PERSPECTIVES • SUMMER-FALL 2013 – Page 36 Justin Hayne from the NSU Jacksonville Campus PA program is catching his breath after his recent victory, where he placed first in his age bracket at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. In addition to Hayne, a number of PA students from the Jacksonville Campus participated in the race to raise money for breast cancer. Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is an organization founded by Nancy G. Brinker in honor of her sister who died of breast cancer. Komen for the Cure is the global leader of the breast cancer movement, having invested more than $1.9 billion since its inception in 1982. This charitable cause is near and dear to the PA students because, as future health care providers, raising awareness about breast cancer is extremely important to them. In addition to Hayne’s triumph, PA student Ryan McMeans organized a team of students, family members, and professors that raised nearly $1,400 for the event. For those who participated, the event was a perfect way to give back to the community and raise awareness for a very important cause.
