Running with the Currents... and More Jeanette Rivera, of NOAA's National Climatic Data Center, Satellite Service Branch, is a real trouper. She joined the 3,000 others who marched 60 miles over three days from Frederick, Maryland to Washington, DC, during the Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day, collecting nearly $2,000 in pledges. A few weeks ago, Team NOAA, from Norfolk, Virginia, raised $6,000 to boost the 24-hour American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. Since someone from each team must be on the track at all times, most team members camped out for the event.Team Members work at the National Ocean Service, National Geodetic Survey, Office of Marine and Aviation Operations, and Office of Finance and Administration.

NOAA set new records at this year's Race for the Cure in support of breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment. 392 team members exceeded last year's record 279. And nearly $4 million was raised in donations and/or pledges.
