WASHINGTON (AFP) — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice cheered on thousands racing in the US capital to raise funds for breast cancer research, sharing the story of her own mother's battle with the disease.
"There are very few people in America or across the world that haven't been touched by breast cancer in some very personal way and I'm no different. My mother was a breast cancer survivor for 15 years," Rice said.
"When she first was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1970, there weren't that many treatment options and there certainly wasn't that much prevention. And what I remember most as a kid of 15 was the kind of terror associated with finding that your mother had breast cancer," she added.
