About Justice For A Cure

My Passion…A Message from Founder, Joan Kamholz

In 2007, as I was planning my retirement from 30 years of law enforcement, I heard four words that changed my life forever, “You have breast cancer”.

My entire world came to sudden halt. My joyous planning and excitement came to a end while I took on, one more fight! But I wasn’t going to let cancer take control of my life, I kicked cancer’s butt………and in July 2007, I retired as planned from the Dane County Sheriff’s Office.

At an early age I was driven to the law enforcement field because I wanted to “help others and make a difference”. As law enforcement officers we take the oath to serve and protect, it becomes part of who we are, on or off the job, active or retired, we carry it with us forever.

Testimonials

  • Kudos to JFAC

    Joan is the BEST event organizer I’ve ever had the pleasure to encounter. Last weekend’s Shoot the Hell Out of Cancer was an AMAZING, but sobering, experience. It has led to an epiphany of sorts as I continue to process through what it all means. Yes, a life-changing experience. Kudos to JFAC!!
