Sheela Murthy’s friend and colleague, Kathy Snyder, will walk in the 2013 Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk in Cleveland, to raise money to fight breast cancer. Ms. Snyder is taking this walk to show support for her sister-in-law, Donna, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012. The MurthyNAYAK Foundation is pleased to support Ms. Snyder’s worthwhile efforts.

In her day job, Kathy Snyder is president and CEO of the Maryland Chamber of Commerce, the state’s foremost business advocacy organization. As a longtime Chamber member and the current Vice Chair of the Chamber’s Board of Directors, Sheela Murthy could not be happier to help.

Funds raised by the Komen Foundation support a global breast cancer research program that has already invested more than $2.2 billion in the search for a cure. There’s no disputing the need for more research, and more funding to fuel it: nearly 300,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2013 alone. The 3-day breast cancer walks also bring in a significant share of the funds needed to provide community support services for breast cancer patients and their families, helping to meet the financial, social, and medical needs of our neighbors.

Ms. Snyder has already raised more than $5,000 in sponsorships for her 3-day walk, which takes place August 1-3 in Cleveland, Ohio. We hope you will share this article with others, and consider making a donation on Kathy’s sponsorship page. Go, Kathy, go!
