Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Comes to Boston this Weekend
Organizers expect the 5K walk will draw more than 7,000 people into the city and raise more than $1 million for breast cancer research.
In Massachusetts, 133 women out of every 100,000 will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
This means that during your lifetime, there's a chance that you, a family member or friend could be diagnosed. Luckily, thanks to awareness, research and investment into the prevention of breast cancer by organizations like Susan G. Komen for the Cure, mortality rates are dropping, and more and more people are coming together to support those fighting against breast cancer.
More than 7,000 breast cancer survivors and supporters will take to the streets of Boston this weekend for the 2012 Komen Massachusetts Race for the Cure
The 5K timed race and untimed walk will be held on Saturday, October 20, 2012 at 10 a.m. in Joe Moakley Park, South Boston.
The online registration date has passed, but you may register on the day of the race in person. If you can't be there in person, you can also donate to the cause.
