2008 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure hits Portland, Oregon
Join thousands of others in Portland, Oregon on Sunday, September 21, 2008 in an effort to fight breast cancer in the Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure. Everyone knows some one who has been affected by this disease.
More than twenty years ago, Susan G. Komen for the Cure was founded by a promise between two sisters. Now, they are the largest network of breast cancer survivors in the world.
The Portland race will include both a 1 mile walk and 5k events so that no matter what, you can participate at any level. For registrations options, go to the registration page.
Volunteers are needed as well. In 2007, more than 1,000 volunteers made this event happen. Help is needed to be involved with fundraising, staff, runners, walkers, and more. Volunteers must be at least 15 years of age unless accompanied by an adult. For more information on becoming a volunteer for the 2008 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, go to the volunteer page.
Together, we can make a difference and save lives. One day we will realize a world without breast cancer, but only if we take the time to make it happen. For more information on breast cancer, or if you have been recently diagnosed, visit the cancer education page.
