Born in a promise between two sisters – Nancy Brinker to her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died from breast cancer at the age of 36 – the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation has become the world’s largest and most progressive grassroots network fighting to end breast cancer forever. Today was the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure event in Raleigh with more than 20,000 runners and walkers participated. I ran in the 5K. It started at Meredith College and looped through neighborhoods to end back at Meredith College. If you would like to donate, you still have a chance. Click here to donate.
