Breast cancer activists, survivors and supporters now have their very own online Web community to share unique experiences and insights around breast cancer. Launching this week, the new social networking site “myKomen” centers on individual and shared experiences with a disease that will afflict 200,000 women and men this year alone.
“myKomen allows users to share their knowledge, their support, their victories — even virtual hugs — 24 hours a day. It’s a visual representation of our grassroots network,” said Hala Moddelmog, president and CEO of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. “myKomen complements the award-winning redesign of komen.org, supplementing the existing content and taking it to the next level.”
New users sign up at my.komen.org to create a personalized profile where they can share personal stories and messages. myKomen members can invite friends to be part of their network, honor loved ones with tribute pages and build a support system that spans the globe.
Additional online features include news feeds, a message wall, the ability to share personal photos, videos and links to pages on komen.org, stories of inspiration and an interactive map of events, among many others.
