Carmelita Jeter named ambassador for Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure & Circle of Promise
LOS ANGELES -- Olympic gold medalist
Carmelita Jeter has partnered up once again with the Susan G. Komen Foundation, as she has been named an official ambassador and is set to sound the official starting horn for the
2015 Susan G. Komen Los Angeles County Race for the Cure® on March 7.
She has teamed up with the Susan G. Komen Foundation for a second consecutive year to help raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. The group's Circle of Promise initiative focuses on the healthcare disparities in the African American community.
The cause is close to Jeter’s heart, as her aunt passed away from breast cancer in 2012, just months before Jeter would anchor Team USA to gold in the women’s 4x100-meter relay at the 2012 Olympic Games.
