Why We Are Hosting This Event?

2013- “My name is Patti Brose-Ziskind and my battle began on March 30th 2012 when I was officially diagnosed with stage 2A Breast cancer. I chose to have my treatment done at Froedtert Hospital because of its clinical trails and record for cure. My course of treatment included a double Mastectomy, chemotherapy and Herceptin, and an antibody therapy treatment that I hope to have completed by June 2013. My journey with cancer has been long, but a healthy and active approach, tons of water (100oz a day), a supportive & loving family, and a positive attitude has made me glide through it. My husband Mark was a rock and our two sons Nick (16), and Jack (11) were strong, supportive and very protective of me during my battle. I hope that I have taught them that life can dish out some bad stuff, but if you face it head on with a good attitude, and support from the ones you love, you will get through it. When I am not kickin’ cancers butt, I try to be as active as possible! I love to play women’s hockey, golf, work out and spend time with my family and friends. I have signed up for my first 1/2 Marathon on June 15th, so once I am cleared, I am going to start to love running! I am honored and excited to be a part of the 5th Annual Competition for a Cure with BeWell Fitness this year. Please join us while we work to raise funds and awareness to find a cure!”

2012- “My name is Dianna Burke, 48, daughter, wife, & mother.   I Live in Libertyville, IL with my husband Dan & daughters Maggie 18 & Sarah 15. Before being diagnosed I was active with biking, jogging, and yoga.   I have completed two Danskin triathlons in 2009 & 2010.   I have run twice, 2010 & 2011, in the Chicago Shamrock Shuffle hoping to run again 2013 and do another triathlon too!  In addition to being active  I have a passion for cooking so in 1999 I opened a retail business in downtown Libertyville:   Someone’s in the Kitchen.  I sold the business in 2006 to spend more time with my girls and husband.   I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in October 2011 and with the help and care of my physicians I am Cancer Free as of December 2011!  I want to make people more aware of how important Mammograms and Self-exams are for early detection, for without both of them I would not be saying today that I am Cancer Free!”

2011- “My name is Diana Nawrocki, Lake Forest College Gradate class of 2001 residing currently in Aurora, IL with two young children and my husband.  Before being diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer I was involved in triathlons starting in 2001.  In the summer of 2010 I completed the 70.3 Half IronMan and the Chicago Marathon.  My enthusiasm for sports never fades as I am excited to be part of Competition for Cure this year.  The money will benefit breast cancer research at Susan G. Koman.    I will complete my chemotherapy on March 29th and start up radiation in May-June of 2011. After completion I would like to do races to benefit breast cancer research and find ways to give back to the community. I would like bring more awareness to yearly checkups and self breast examines to continue to help others detect early stages of breast cancer.
