Komen for the Cure. “I have to always have something in my life that isn’t for me, said Locker. “It just gives me such a great feeling and so much more energy for life.” Once word spread about the idea of “Strike A Pose” to help Locker and the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Antonio</strong> Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, filling the calendar pages with some of the Alamo City’s most beautiful women was effortless. Among the women who posed were BMP radio’s C.J. Cruz, WOAI’s <strong>De</strong>laine Mathieu, and FOX’s Karen Martinez. “Being able to do this meant a lot to me. I’m a breast cancer survivor, so raising awareness about this horrible disease is a personal goal,” said Fox’s Karen Martinez. “I’m touched and amazed by all of the beautiful women willing to take part in the calendar shoot. I get emotional just thinking about how many people this will reach and how much awareness it will raise.” Cancer has affected many people’s lives whether it’s been a personal battle or one within your family. “My grandmother had breast cancer. She was diagnosed in her 30’s. She fought it and lived a very long and wonderful life,” said WOAI’s <strong>De</strong>laine Mathieu. “Supporting the cause is an absolute must for me. I want to see a cure for this disease that has taken so many people’s lives.” Locker expressed that, you Participaron Citi Corp., The Hispanic Heritage Center of <strong>Texas</strong>, Valero Corporation y A.L.M.A. en el despliegue de exhibidores instalados en la Alamo Plaza, en los que se describe la historia de tejanos distinguidos, como lo fueron Juan Seguin, José <strong>Antonio</strong> Navarro, Policarpio Rodriguez, Lorenzo de Zavala, Gregorio Esparza, Toribio Lozoya y José Francisco Ruíz.

You can’t get to far ahead into the “what if’s.” No matter where we are in life it could be anything whether it’s your career, a relationship or an illness. Locker’s greatest joy in life since she was a 5-year-old little girl was running through the aisles of her small-town grocery store and being able to connect with people. “I would run up and down the aisles saying hi to complete strangers,” said Locker “I’ve always carried the absolute belief in the goodness in people and the potential for good in the world.” “I feel so honored to have been asked by Jim and Vanessa of Sundance Photo Arts, to be part of Strike A Pose,” said Cruz. “I am so fortunate to be in the company of so many amazing women and to have an opportunity to help another amazing and incredible woman, Elf Louis Locker.” Locker is now cancer free and in remission. She is a third of the way through radiation therapy to ensure she remains cancer free. “It makes all the difference in the world when you are going through something that is frightening and life altering.” said Locker. “It’s the love the people give you and the kindness along the way that allows you to rise above the most difficult things in life.” On Thursday, September 30, at 7 p.m. the pink carpet premiere of the “Strike A Pose SA Against Cancer AraCeliLiveTV Tejano Breakfast...
