Jeff Jones isn\u2019t just running hundreds of miles this year\u2014he\u2019s running with purpose. After raising nearly $5,000 last year while completing the grueling 240\u2011mile MOAB ultra-endurance race, Jeff is once again stepping far outside his comfort zone in support of Mi densidad importa<\/em>. In fact, this year, he\u2019s turning up the challenge: 640 miles across three<\/em> of the most extreme races in the country.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s called the Triple Crown of 200s<\/em><\/a>: the Tahoe 200<\/a> in June, the Bigfoot 200<\/a> in August, and the MOAB 240<\/a> in October. That\u2019s three races, three states, and 640 rugged, mountainous miles\u2014all to support a cause that hits close to home for Jeff.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy Density Matters empowers women to understand their breast density and advocates for the additional screenings that could save lives,\u201d Jeff says. \u201cThe women in my life\u2014my wife, daughters, nieces, sisters, aunts, colleagues, and friends\u2014deserve access to the vital breast cancer screenings they need.\u201d<\/p>\n

But what makes Jeff\u2019s story especially powerful is the mindset behind it. At work and online, he regularly challenges others to \u201cbe comfortable being uncomfortable.\u201d<\/em> This summer, as he pushes his body beyond what most of us can even imagine, he\u2019s living that challenge to the fullest.<\/p>\n

And that challenge isn\u2019t just about running\u2014it\u2019s about action. It\u2019s about doing something hard because it matters.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where you come in.<\/p>\n

For many women, looking into their breast density, understanding their risk, and asking their doctors for more than a mammogram isn\u2019t easy. It\u2019s uncomfortable. But that discomfort is often the first step toward early detection\u2014and early detection can save lives.<\/p>\n

So as Jeff puts his body on the line mile after mile, we challenge you<\/em> to get outside your comfort zone too. Ask the question: What\u2019s my breast density?<\/em> Log into your health chart to find out. If you\u2019ve been told you have dense breasts, speak up and ask about additional screening options. Advocate for yourself. Share what you learn with others. You don\u2019t need to run 640 miles to make a difference\u2014you just need to take the first, sometimes uncomfortable, step.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s honor Jeff\u2019s incredible commitment by rising to our own challenge. Join him in supporting Mi densidad importa<\/em>, and together, let\u2019s ensure that no woman is left behind in the fight against breast cancer.<\/p>\n
