Why We Walk : The Inspirational Journey Toward a Cure for Breast Cancer, by Deb Murphy & Paula Lerner is a tribute to the millions of women and men who crowd America's streets to walk in order to combat breast cancer. Some are survivors of breast cancer themselves, while others have friends or family that have been affected by this devastating disease. The common thread is a quest for a cure. The brilliant photographs bring to life the stories that are told throughout the book, showing the strength, determination and joy that embody these walkers. This full-color coffee table book will be a wonderful gift book of encouragement or as a memento of someone's own walk.
Paula Lerner started the book as a healthy photographer with her own personal reasons for wanting to do this work, both her mother and stepmother are breast cancer survivors. A few months into the project Paula was diagnosed with breast cancer, making work on the book more up close and personal than she ever imagined it would be.
In the end, Paula unexpectedly became one of the stories in her own book. Happily, she is a survivor, and her personal experiences bring a special feeling to this great project.
