Komen Announces New Leader

Breast cancer survivor Jacqueline Spears-Williams smiles as she receives a rose at the finish of the 15th Annual Susan G.  Komen St. Louis Race for the Cure in St. Louis on Saturday. The breast cancer charity announced today that it has named Judith A. Salerno to replace founder Nancy Brinker. Brinker announced last summer she would step down following an onslaught of criticism over Komen’s quickly reversed decision to stop giving grants to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer screenings.
