Back Cover Information

This book celebrate the spirit of the thousands of women-and increasing numbers of men- who every year crowd the streets of America's major cities to walk, talk, laugh, and cry their way toward finding a cure for breast cancer.

They are ordinary individuals, each with their own story and their own reasons to raise money, train, and then walk—some 1 mile, some 40 or even 60 miles.

These women and men come together to give of themselves, endure the hardships, and share their hope for the future. Their stories are remarkable.

About the Author

Deb Murphy participated in her first long-distance breast cancer walk in 1999 to show support for her godmother, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. That weekend proved to be one of the most extraordinary times ion her life, and even then she knew that Why We Walk would have to be a book. Deb Murphy is vice president of Lionheart Books, and before that she had a long career at Turner Broadcasting Systems, Inc. A graduate of the State University of New York at Geneseo, she lives in Atlanta,Georgia, with her son, Nicholas.
