Every year, The Susan G. Komen Northwest Ohio selects two individuals from their 24 county service area for recognition during the Toledo Race for the Cure. This year’s Toledo Race will be In Celebration of Kathryn ‘Kit’ Curran, and In Memory of Mary Chris Skeldon.
Kit Curran is a seamstress and small business owner of “Kit’s Jean Hems.” Mary Helen Darah celebrates Kit in her essay, available in full online. Excerpt below.
One of Kit’s missions since her experience is to encourage other women to get checked. “I didn’t realize that it had been four years since my last mammogram,” she states. “The cancer that I had could not be felt from the outside. It was the mammogram provided by Komen that saved me. When my good friend from college heard my story, she scheduled her mammogram. She got called back for more views and ended up having a lumpectomy, radiation and chemo. We are college educated women who take care of ourselves but we weren’t getting mammograms. For this reason alone, I will continue to share my story. Women also need to know that if they don’t have insurance there is help available. Komen is very helpful in helping non-insured and underinsured people get the care they need.”
