Promise Me: How a Sister's Love Launched the Global Movement to End Breast Cancer by Joni Rodgers, Nancy G. Brinker

5.0

Having lost my mom to breast cancer, I was anxious to read Nancy Brinker's memoir about her sister and the founding of the grassroots organization, SGK for the Cure. Just a few pages in, I was deeply awed by Brinker, by her promise to Suzy, and by the love (and loss) that drove her to make good on that promise. In imagining and building SGK for the Cure from the ground up, Brinker not only created a meaningful and enduring legacy to her beloved sister, but also ensures that high quality research, education and other resources are available to the countless women (and men) who continue to fight breast cancer today. Brinker's memoir is a fast, engaging read that pays tribute to Suzy and to all whose lives are touched by this disease.
