 against
breast cancer. Participants travel an average of 20 miles per day and are

The
Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1982 by Nancy Brinker to honor the memory of her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died from breast
cancer at the age of 36. Today the Komen Foundation is an international
organization with a network of more than 75,000 active volunteers working
through local Affiliates and events like the 3-Day and the Komen Race for the
Cure®, to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease. A global
leader in the fight against breast cancer, the Komen Foundation fulfills its
mission through support of innovative breast cancer research grants, meritorious
awards and educational, scientific and community outreach programs around the
world. Together with its Affiliate Network, corporate partners and
generous donors, the Komen Foundation has raised nearly $740 million for the
