Love Walk to Benefit Breast Cancer Research

  For the third year in a row, the Pacific Palisades Junior Women’s Club (PPWJC) is joining forces with the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation (DSLRF) for the annual Love Walk on June 6 to raise money for innovative and groundbreaking breast cancer research at DSLRF.   Registration for the walk begins at 8 a.m. and the walk will begin at 9 a.m. in front of the Palisades Branch Library, 861 Alma Real.   DSLRF, a nonprofit 501(c)3 breast cancer research foundation in Santa Monica, is working to eradicate the disease in a unique way.’DSLRF is recruiting women to partner with them by taking part in the recently launched breast cancer initiative, Love/Avon Army of Women.’So far, almost 333,000 women have joined.   DSLRF is dedicated to preventing and eradicating breast cancer and improving the quality of women’s health through innovative research, education and advocacy. Dr. Susan Love, a Pacific Palisades resident and DSLRF president, is focusing the research on the intraductal approach because she believes that breast cancer begins in the breast ducts.   ’Our foundation is excited to partner again with the PPWJC to go beyond a cure and raise money to eradicate breast cancer,’ Dr. Love says. ‘Many women in the Palisades have taken part in our research studies and continue to donate and support the foundation because they know every penny raised is going to a local nonprofit that is doing breast cancer research right here in the community.’   The Love Walk has thus far raised more than $100,000 for the DSLRF. The 5K walk through the Huntington Palisades is open to people of all ages, and local schools and businesses are encouraged to participate and help raise awareness.
