7th Annual Sister-To-Sister Fitness Festival
Claudia Price, Mother of Soulful Singer,
Kelly Price Honorary Chairperson
The 7th
Annual Sister to Sister Fitness Festival will be held on Saturday, October 7, 2006
in Kiest Park, Dallas, TX. Claudia Price, mother of soulful singer, Kelly Price and breast cancer survivor will be the
Honorary Chairperson.
“I would like to tell every woman don’t do what I did. Make sure you check your self out,
and go to the doctor in a timely manner,” said Claudia Price, mother of singing sensation, Kelly
Price.
Price waited almost 2 years before seeking medical attention for a breast condition that
caused her left breast to enlarge to three times its normal size, bleeding from her nipple and
an excruciating pain that pulsated all the way up to her neck.
“When I finally went to doctor, I was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). The
doctor who chose to call me while I was a work, told me to conserve energy, because I was going
to die,” said Price who is now celebrating her 7th year as survivor of breast cancer.
According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), inflammatory breast cancer is a rare but
very aggressive type of breast cancer in which the cancer cells block the lymph vessels in the
skin of the breast. This type of breast cancer is called “inflammatory” because the breast often
looks swollen and red, or “inflamed.”
Price is looking forward to sharing her testimony with other as she takes her victorious walk,
during the 7th Annual Sister to Sister Fitness Festival, which will
take place on Saturday, October 7, 2006. The 5k walk/run will be held at Kiest Park located in Dallas, Texas, beginning at 8:30 am.
The even is being sponsored by the Celebrating Life Foundation.
The Celebrating Life Foundation is a non- profit organization devoted to educating the African
American community and women of color about the risks of breast cancer, and the benefits of early
detection and treatment.
