explains his job, saying, “We connect the right jobs to the right people,” which he finds is work full of satisfaction. Like so many others, Bianchi’s rel- atives and friends have been both successful and unsuccessful in dealing with the dis- ease. His way of expressing his gratitude for surviving cancer is to cooperate with Men in Pink. He wants to “work alongside my ‘pink-clad’ brothers and together raise enough money that will create enough of a dent in the forcefield around this disease, so to expedite the search for a cure.” Allan Carr Allan Carr is a Montgomery na- tive, born and raised here. He at- tended Auburn University where he graduated in 2000 with a bach- elor’s degree in fi- nance. After finishing his undergrad at Auburn, Carr moved back to Montgomery to start his career as an eq- uity analyst for the Retirement Systems of Alabama. While working at RSA, he at- tended classes in the evening to earn his MBA in finance from Auburn University Montgomery. In 2004, Carr earned the Chartered Fi- nancial Analyst (CFA) designation, “the highest distinction in the investment man- agement profession.” He is currently the di- rector of equities with RSA. Carr enjoys playing golf and traveling with wife Somer in his free time. They are dog lovers and have a pet morkie named Zac. Carr’s desire to participate in the Real Men Wear Pink campaign comes from his strong belief that routine checkups save lives. His mother is a breast cancer survivor after finding it during a routine mammo- gram 11 years ago. “I’m excited to raise money and aware- ness for breast cancer,” he said. “My mom is living proof that early detection through routine screenings is extremely important in the fight against cancer.” Jeff Cox Jeff Cox, Mont- gomery native, at- tended Lanier High School and Jacksonville State University. He is an alumnus of Leadership Mont- gomery Class XIII. He also is a restau- rateur, working with many local Montgomery restaurants throughout the years, including Jubilee Seafood, Capitol Oyster Bar, Sinclair’s and now is manager of two Chappy’s Deli loca- tions, Baptist South and Prattville. Becky, Cox’s beautiful wife of 23 years is a two-time survivor of breast cancer. “I have said many times, it’s not just She that has cancer, but We have cancer,” he said. “It af- fects not only the patient but their loved ones as well.” Becky Cox lost her mother and brother to cancer. Cox and his wife have a son, Campbell, and are very active at First Baptist Church in Montgomery. “What excites me about being involved in the Real Men Wear Pink campaign is participating in a cause to end this dreaded disease that has taken the lives of several friends,” he said. Glenn Crumpton Glenn Crump- ton is a lifelong resident of Mont- gomery. After graduating from Robert E. Lee High School in Montgomery, he went to work in the business that his grandfather began in 1954, known as Orthopedic Serv- ice Company. He attended Auburn Univer- sity Montgomery and ultimately received his associate degree in business manage- ment from Troy University. He continued his education at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois, where he completed certificate programs in prosthetics and or- thotics before returning to Montgomery. In 1991, Crumpton joined his mother at Alabama Artificial Limb Company and, in 2004, he and his mother combined Ala- bama Artificial Limb Company and Ortho- pedic Service Company, which was being operated by his uncle, Glenn Latimer, to form AALOS Prosthetics and Orthotics, where he is now managing director. AALOS also has a unique entity that was undertaken many years ago by his grand- father, known as “The Boutique,” which provides post mastectomy products, includ- ing breast forms, swimwear and lingerie to women who undergo a mastectomy. “It is through “The Boutique” that I have been able to continue a legacy that began decades ago to find a way to support anyone who undergoes a mastectomy or amputa- tion and their family and loved ones as they deal with some of the most traumatic news one can receive after a cancer diagnosis,” Crumpton said. “To be a part of the Real Men Wear Pink campaign is a way to help continue to move to the time when we will not have to hear the terrible news that this disease brings with it by supporting efforts to find a cure. Cancer does not discriminate on the basis of age, race or ethnicity and at AALOS I have the honor and privilege of helping people who undergo amputations or mastectomies and support them as they live the rest of their lives cancer-free.” Crumpton and his wife, Jennifer, and their daughters can be seen at public events throughout the River Region to raise aware- ness and support for community events to eradicate this disease.
