Forty-three years ago, a sister’s promise ignited a spark that would fuel a global crusade against breast cancer. Today that promise continues to prevail as the driving force behind Susan G. Komen’s unwavering quest for a future free from the grip of this deadly disease.  That being said, we invite you to join our iHeart Radio iHeart Media Team, Sunday Oct 25th at the Susan G. Komen More Than Pink Walk. Together, we can help raise awareness, celebrate survivors, honor loved ones, and make a meaningful impact in the fight against breast cancer. Whether you walk, cheer, or help spread the word, your support makes a difference. We hope you'll join us for this inspiring community event! Komen.org for more.

Aired October 18, 2026: In this podcast Lisa Foxx talk to breast cancer survivor Nisha Jamie. They discuss her journey, how she's doing now and how to join her team for big event this Sunday in L.A.
Founded: Established in 1982 in Dallas, Texas, by Nancy G. Brinker, who promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would end the disease that took her life.
Mission: Save lives and end breast cancer through research, patient care, community outreach, and advocacy.
Impact: Helped reduce the U.S. breast cancer mortality rate by more than 44% since 1989 and invested nearly $3.6 billion globally. 
Research: Invested nearly $1.1 billion across more than 2,800 research grants and 600 clinical trials, heavily focused on metastatic and aggressive breast cancers. 
Patient Care: Operates a Patient Care Center and a free helpline (877) 465-6636 offering emotional support, education, patient navigation, and the Komen Financial Assistance Program. 
Well known for large-scale community events like the Race for the Cure and the More Than Pink Walk

Nisha is a breast cancer survivor diagnosed with HER2‑positive breast cancer,  a fast‑growing and invasive form of the disease, in 2022 at the age of 42. She underwent surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and a year of targeted therapy while raising three school‑aged children, including a medically fragile daughter with a complex heart condition who became a steady source of courage throughout her treatment. As a longtime journalist, Nisha often shares her story on social media to offer grounded guidance to others walking their own breast cancer journey. She was inspired by both her daughter’s medical journey and her own to write two children’s books shaped by the belief that sharing our hardships can help others feel less alone. Today, Nisha honors her survivorship through daily movement including long walks during her kids' sports practices, active volunteer work in the breast cancer community and spending as much time as she can with her family, who were a constant support during her breast cancer treatment. 

In the pursuit of our goals, we’ve helped fuel research, unlocking the biology of breast cancer and discovering insights that propel us toward more effective risk reduction strategies, earlier detection methods and innovative treatments. This has helped reduce the breast cancer mortality rate by 44% since 1989.

To date, we’ve invested nearly $3.6 billion in groundbreaking research, community health outreach, advocacy and programs in more than 60 countries. Over the past 30 years, 29 new breast cancer-fighting drugs were made possible in part due to Komen research funding.

We stand firm in our promise to never give up on our vision of creating a world without breast cancer.

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles transforms neighborhoods by bringing the community together to build affordable homes, provide critical home repairs and help families rebuild after natural disasters. They also help people access affordable loans, housing counseling, and down-payment assistance. They have been helping local fire victims for years and now, of course, many communities who lost everything in the devastating 2025 wildfires. I ask that you don't think that EVERYONE in the Palisades and Malibu are 'rich' and 'they don't need help' because MANY DESPERATELY NEED HELP. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD: if you or someone you know lost their home, apartment, or their place got smoke damaged etc. If they were affected by the fires and are STILL STUCK due to insurance issues and financial issues, PLEASE HAVE THEM APPLY for assistance HERE 

Habitat LA is about to kick off a massive 4-day REBUILD event in the Palisades with about 500+ volunteers. Hear all about it in this podcast with Lisa Foxx and Habitat LA's long time CEO Erin Rank (Lisa's boyfriend Eric, lost everything in the Pali fire where he grew up. The WHOLE TOWN devastated, his whole neighborhood by the Gelson's GONE) Lisa was only a Palisadian for 5 years, Eric was his WHOLE LIFE. His sweet neighbors hew grew up, so many seniors who lost EVERYTHING. It's been horribly life changing, but we are GRATEFUL for Habitat LA, to see all the good they are doing to truly be HANDS ON and help in so many ways.

Habitat LA’s ReBUILD LA: Disaster Relief ProgramStanding Strong with Angelenos in Times of Crisis

Donate Now or Text “WFRF” to 414-44

For 35 years, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles (Habitat LA) has helped people build strong, stable foundations for their futures. When disaster strikes, our commitment to rebuilding Los Angeles is even stronger.

From wildfires and floods to earthquakes and mudslides, disasters leave survivors facing more than the loss of their homes. Many are also burdened with overwhelming financial challenges. Habitat LA is here to help restore stability and hope, prioritizing support for low-income households that are uninsured, underinsured—those that are the most vulnerable.

Habitat Disaster Relief Services:
Smoke Remediation
Smoke damage clean-up and remediation so you can safely return to your home.
Water Damage
Repairing and restoring flooring, walls, and electrical systems.
Home Repairs
Essential repairs to restore your home.
Rebuilding
Support and funding to help you rebuild your home.
ReBUILD Financing
Silent loans to cover the difference between insurance payouts and actual rebuilding costs.

The Habitat LA Accelerator Fund:As an immediate step, we have launched the Accelerator Fund—flexible grants of up to $10,000 designed to remove barriers and help you get back home faster.These funds can cover needs that insurance and FEMA don’t, such as:
Legal and title issues
Permitting and impact fees
Air, smoke, lead, or asbestos testing
Insurance disputes
Utility connection delays

Unlike a loan, these grants never need to be repaid. They are designed to help households rebuild without delay. You may qualify if:
Your home was damaged or destroyed in the 2025 Palisades wildfire.
You own your own home and it’s your primary residence before the wildfires
Your household income is at or below 120% of area median income.

With Habitat, you can apply for a house, apply for repairs, volunteer, donate...BIG VOLUNTEER GROUPS are helpful! 

They have ReStores...in Bellflower, Torrance and on Brea in LA...(like thrift stores but for home repairs, projects and decoration)

Nearly 18 months after the devastating January 2025 wildfires, about three in four Pacific Palisades survivors remain displaced, and many families who want to return home face financial barriers that could permanently price them out of the communities they have called home for decades. To help close that gap, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles (Habitat LA) will bring hundreds of volunteers and partners together September 23–26 for a four-day Community Build through its ReBUILD LA initiative.

The effort comes as Habitat for Humanity International marks its 50th anniversary, celebrating five decades of bringing people together to build homes, strengthen communities and expand access to affordable homeownership.

Over the course of four days, more than 500 volunteers, local residents, corporate and civic leaders, entertainment and media partners, construction professionals and community organizations will come together to restore homes, neighborhoods and hope. Projects include rebuilding and repairing affected homes, landscaping, site clearing and broader community revitalization efforts.

n 2020, my friend Eric Borstein’s life changed dramatically when he collapsed at home from massive right heart failure and was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a rare and life-threatening disease with no cure. He’s GRATEFUL to be alive and here to share his story as we gear up for his 3rd annual Where is EB? 5k fundraiser in Santa Monica Sunday Sept. 20th.On this podcast, hear Lisa Foxx talk with Eric all about his story and why this fundraiser is so important.

He spent sixteen days in the intensive care unit at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, fighting for his life. In the aftermath of his diagnosis, Eric turned to walking as a pathway to physical and emotional healing. What began as short strolls grew into a vital, empowering part of his life. Between 2022 and 2024, Eric walked over 14,500 miles, a testament to his resilience and his commitment to managing life with PAH.

Excited to announce the Third Annual Where is EB? will be on Sunday, September 20th for a meaningful morning of community, light refreshments, and a 5K walk in support of those living with pulmonary hypertension (PH). This event will culminate in a powerful sendoff as Eric begins his incredible journey walking from Los Angeles to San Diego to raise critical funds and awareness for PH — a devastation disease that most people have never heard of.

As we know...it's summer! And its been HOT especially in California! Do you protect your skin?? Melanoma is a serious, aggressive form of skin cancer. According to the Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF), it is primarily triggered by DNA damage from ultraviolet (UV) radiation—such as natural sunlight and indoor tanning—but it can also develop in areas NOT exposed to the sun.

The Melanoma Research Foundation is celebrating 30 years of their mission to eradicate melanoma by accelerating medical research, while educating and advocating for the those who get diagnosed. melanoma.org is their website for more.

Aired July 26, 2026: In this podcast, Lisa Foxx talks to James Merrick Chief Communications and Marketing Officer of MRF...and he answers THESE burning questions...

What is it? Who gets it? What does it look like? Are there different types? What are the signs something is wrong? Is it hereditary? What happens once diagnosed? What treatments/medications do we have to treat it? What does MRF do year round to fight this and support those who get diagnosed? How can we PREVENT it? Is sunscreen and floppy hats, long sleeves enough? Dermo ?How do we support those who have it? Let's talk events, fundraisers and of course the Miles 4 Melanoma with walks all over the country and a few still coming up here in California...It develops in melanocytes (the cells that produce melanin).  areas like the eyes, mucous membranes, and under nails.

The MRF highlights several critical aspects of melanoma: 
Detection: While up to 93% of melanomas are linked to UV exposure, 70% to 80% arise on normal-looking skin rather than existing moles. Early detection is vital, as the disease can rapidly spread to distant organs if left untreated. 
Rare Subtypes: Melanoma can occur in places that never see the sun. Mucosal melanoma and ocular melanoma (eye melanoma) are distinct, rare forms that require specialized treatment.
Skin of Color: Although melanoma is less common in people of color, it is often diagnosed at much later, more dangerous stages. It frequently presents in non-sun-exposed areas like the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, or under nail beds (acral lentiginous melanoma). 
Prevention & Advocacy: The MRF advocates heavily against indoor tanning—which increases melanoma risk eightfold—and promotes sun-safety practices like using broad-spectrum sunscreen

Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer. It develops in the melanocytes—the cells that produce melanin, the pigment responsible for skin, hair, and eye color. While less common than other skin cancers, it is much more likely to spread (metastasize) to other organs if not detected and treated early.

What Causes It? The primary cause of melanoma is DNA damage to the skin cells, primarily resulting from ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight and tanning beds. While it usually appears on sun-exposed areas like the face, legs, and back, it can also develop in unexposed parts of the body, such as the eyes, soles of the feet, or under the nails. 

Risk Factors: Anyone can get melanoma, but you are at a higher risk if you have fair skin, a history of intense or blistering sunburns, a family history of the disease, or a large number of moles.

Prevention and Treatment: You can reduce your risk by practicing sun safety, such as applying broad-spectrum sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds. If caught and treated in its earliest stages, the survival rate is extremely high. Treatments vary based on how far the cancer has progressed, but can include surgery, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and radiation.

Prevention and Treatment: You can reduce your risk by practicing sun safety, such as applying broad-spectrum sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding tanning beds. If caught and treated in its earliest stages, the survival rate is extremely high. Treatments vary based on how far the cancer has progressed, but can include surgery, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and radiation.
