Farmers' Insurance Group
is proud to sponsor Climb Against the Odds. We're
a large company with more than 20,000 employees and agents.
So it's inevitable that breast cancer affects one of us,
our family, or our co-workers. At today's rate of detection,
we know that more than 1,500 of our current work-force
will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some time in their
lives. That's too many of our moms. Our sisters. Our friends.
Farmers' is concerned about
the health and well-being of our employees, agents and
customers. We take this opportunity to not only bring
awareness to the need for early detection and aggressive
research, but to celebrate the women why defy great physical
and mental obstacles to overcome this devastating disease
- and their fears.

Amgen, the world's largest
independent biotechnology company, is honored to partner
with The Breast Cancer Fund and KQED in the presentation
of Climb Against the Odds. This inspiring documentary
is a story of strong and courageous women who climbed
the most daunting mountain in North America with the same
unyielding resolve they personally used - or watched family
and friends use - to fight the fight of their lives. The
determination of the thousands of women around the world
facing the fight of their lives inspired Amgen in its
goal of developing a therapy that helps breast cancer
patients stay on track with their chemotherapy, enabling
them to complete their therapy on schedule and meet their
goals.
