Karlene going pink to fight breast cancer [Video]

SAN DIEGO — CBS 8’s Karlene Chavis is GOING PINK!  That’s right, Karlene has accepted the challenge to be a Susan G. Komen Big Wig.  

All March, along with other passionate local leaders and community members, Karlene will be sporting her pink locks to help raise awareness and move the fight against breast cancer forward.

1 in 8 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide.  

The money raised from Karlene’s Big Wig campaign will fund research to discover more effective treatments, policy efforts to make access to care easier for all, and access to breast cancer services, emotional support, financial assistance, and more.
