ALBANY — Two long-time Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital employees, Carol Pressley and Anna Wade, are preparing to participate in their 10th Susan G. Komen Three-Day Breast Cancer Walk in Denver. United by a shared commitment to fighting breast cancer, the friends have walked together under their team’s name, 2B4U (Two Boobs for You), since 2007.
Carol, who works in Medical Records, and Anna, from Finance and Budget Information, began their journey together after being deeply affected by the loss of loved ones to breast cancer. They were inspired to participate in the walk after seeing a Susan G. Komen Foundation commercial. The initial plan was to participate in just one walk, but the impact of their experience, coupled with the ongoing diagnoses of friends, family and coworkers, fueled their determination to continue. To date, they have walked in various cities, including Atlanta, San Diego, Boston, Tampa, and Dallas, raising more than $76,000 for breast cancer research and patient care.
