One of the greatest novels in the English language, Great Expectations, is a story of pride and ambition blinding a soul to the true values of life. The book was first seri- alized from December 1860 to August

1861. It is regarded as one of Dickens\u2019s greatest and most enduring novels - having been adapted for stage and screen over 250 times. The novel is written in the genre of "bildungsroman" or the kind of book that follows the story of a man or woman on their journey of self-development.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS tells the tale of the orphan, Pip, writing his life from his early days of childhood until adulthood and his quest to be a gentleman along the way.

Susan G. Komen fought breast cancer with her heart, body and soul. Throughout her diagnosis, treatments, and endless days in the hospital, she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other woman battling breast cancer instead of worrying

about her own situation. That concern for others continued even as Susan neared the ned of her fight. Moved by Susan\u2019s com- passion for others and committed to making a difference, Nancy G. Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever.

That promise is now Susan G. Komen for the Cure\u00ae, the global leader of the breast cancer movement,having invested more than $1 billion since inception in 1982. As the world\u2019s largest graasroots net- work of breast cancer survivors and activists, we\u2019re working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find cures. Thanks to events like Susan G. Komen race for the Cure\u00ae, and generous contributions from our partners, sponsors and fellow sup- porters, we have become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
