Donate to Komen Race for the Cure
Posted on September 22nd, 2011
In supporting the annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in honor of local resident, Gladys Hammermiller, please give generously once again this year in her memory by sending your donations to Thomas Hammermiller, P. O. Box 131, Orchard, TX 77464 (checks made payable to Komen Houston Affiliate) or by donating online at www.komen-houston.org/ Donate/ Gladys Hammermiller before Oct. 1, 2011.
Gladys was always proud to be a part of this community. She was always available to hold a hand or listen to others facing the same challenges; and rarely showed her own pain, suffering, and worries. Her family believes it was the result of research grant programs such as this which allowed Gladys to be a 23+year breast cancer survivor before she lost her fight against ovarian cancer on July 29, 2008.
