A few of our Hard Knox Rollergirls recently visited Susan G. Komen for the Cure of Knoxville in action at their Mobile Mammography Unit. We were excited to get the opportunity to learn about the organization and the amazing work that they do to prevent the preventable, treat the treatable and put and end to breast cancer.

The Mobile Mammography Unit that we were able to visit is one of the programs sponsored by Komen. It drives to different locations within a 1.5 hour radius from Knoxville and is open 6 days a week. It provides mammography for patients with and without insurance.
75% of the funds raised by Susan G. Komen of Knoxville stay here in East Tennessee to provide services to clients. 25% goes to headquarters for research purposes.
